TheBland Creek, a mostly–perennial river^[5] that is part of theLachlan sub-catchment of theMurrumbidgeecatchment within theMurray–Darling basin, is located in theSouth West Slopes, andRiverina regions ofNew South Wales,Australia. The Bland Creek is only connected to the Murray Darling basin when both the Lachlan and Murrumbidgee Rivers are in flood.

The Bland Creek (technically a river^[5]) rises below Twins Range, a northern spur of theGreat Dividing Range, and flows generally north northwest, joined by seven minor tributaries, before reaching itsmouth and spilling intoLake Cowal, the largest natural inland lake in New South Wales.^[4] The creek descends 185 metres (607 ft) over its 173-kilometre (107 mi)course.^[2]

Eucalyptus camaldulensis (river red gum) woodland occurs along the edges of the Bland Creek.^[4] In 2012 it was reported that the Bland Creek mallee fowl was on the brink of extinction.^[6]

The creek iscrossed by theNewell Highway south of the river mouth and east ofWyalong.
