Jackson Creek is a watercourse that flows into Lake Ontario near 10th Street, in the New Toronto neighbourhood of Etobicoke, a suburb of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1] It is part of the Great Lakes Basin. Its headwaters were approximately five kilometers northwest—north of Bloor Street, near Highway 427.[2] Portions of the watercourse remain above-ground today.[3] The creek is named for Jackson Farm, the historical location of its mouth.[3]

The creek west of Jackson Creek is North Creek, while the creek east of Jackson Creek is Superior Creek.
