Riley Creek is a stream in the Great Lakes Basin in Central Ontario, Canada.[1][2][3][4] It flows south from its source at Riley Lake in geographic Ryde Township[5] in the municipality of Gravenhurst, District Municipality of Muskoka, to its mouth as a right tributary of the Black River in geographic Dalton Township[6] in the city of Kawartha Lakes. The Black River flows via the Severn River to Georgian Bay on Lake Huron.

About 80% of the creek lies within Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park.[2]
