The upper section of Olinda Falls is a cascading stretch of Olinda Creek located within the Dandenong Ranges, approximately 45 kilometres east of Melbourne's CBD.

Reached via a short walk from the Olinda Falls Picnic Ground on Falls Road, Olinda, the upper falls are more of a multi-step cascade than a single dramatic drop, with individual sections falling roughly 2–5 metres through a lush fern gully setting.

A constructed lookout with a safety rail sits above the creek, offering views of the cascading water below.

The upper falls sit around 180 metres upstream from the taller, multi-level lower falls, and most visitors explore both on the same outing, each accessed by its own short walking track and viewing platform.
