Horsman Creek is a scenic waterway on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, flowing through the Noosa region. It serves as a natural corridor connecting Lake Weyba to Peregian Beach, featuring a mix of estuarine and freshwater environments influenced by tidal flows from the nearby ocean. The creek is part of a broader foreshore nature trail system, offering anglers a blend of fishing opportunities within an accessible coastal landscape.

The creek can be divided into distinct sections based on its geography and connectivity. The upper reaches near Lake Weyba feature more protected, brackish waters. The middle section flows through natural bushland and is traversed by a pedestrian suspension bridge, which marks a notable point along the foreshore trail. The lower section nears Peregian Beach, where the creek becomes more influenced by tidal action and opens into coastal dunes.
