Clear Paddock Creek is an urban watercourse that is a tributary of Orphan School Creek, which in turn, is a tributary of Prospect Creek. Located in the City of Fairfield, New South Wales, Australia, the creek starts from Bonnyrigg near North Liverpool Road and ends at Orphan School Creek to the east near King Road in Fairfield West.
Situated in Western Sydney on the Cumberland Plain, the creek is concrete-walled east of Brisbane Road to the convergence with Orphan School Creek at northeast, though a naturalised section of the creek called "Restoring the Waters" begins just west of Brisbane Road at Edensor Park, and southwest of that point the creek remains natural with a reedy riparian zone. For public access, the transitway bus network crosses several sections near the creek.
