Arthurs Creek is a town in Victoria, Australia, 44km (27.4mi) north-east of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the Shire of Nillumbik local government area.
The creek was named after Henry Arthur, a member of Batman's Port Phillip Association and nephew of Tasmania's Governor George Arthur, who settled at Arthur's Creek, however another source says that it was named by the surveyor Thomas Nutt, supposedly because one of his parties, a Mr Arthur, died and was buried in this location.
