Barramundi Creek, also known locally as Morris's Creek, is a significant tidal creek system within the Burdekin Shire of Queensland, Australia. It flows into the broader Bowling Green Bay area and is a key component of the lower Burdekin floodplain's network of coastal wetlands. The creek is characterized by its estuarine environment, with a barrier at the upper tidal limit that ponds freshwater on the wetlands but restricts fish passage. This system is renowned for its productive inshore and estuarine fishing, offering anglers access to a variety of prized saltwater species. The primary access is via the Barramundi Creek Boat Ramp, situated approximately 43.6 kilometers north of Ayr, which serves as a gateway to both the creek itself and nearby offshore fishing grounds.

The most productive areas are typically associated with structure. The mangrove-lined banks throughout the creek provide excellent habitat. The channels and drop-offs adjacent to the main boat ramp are reliable spots, especially on a moving tide. The confluence areas where Barramundi Creek meets other waterways or opens into Bowling Green Bay can hold concentrations of fish. The upper tidal limit near the freshwater barrier creates a distinct area where ponded water can attract certain species.
