Clifton Creek is a locality in the Shire of East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. In the 2016 census, Clifton Creek had a population of 237 people. Clifton Creek Primary School (No. 3684) opened in 1911. It operated part-time or closed at various times as enrolment levels fluctuated, but had enough students for two teachers from the 1980s. The school was destroyed by fire on 31 December 2019 during the 2019-20 East Gippsland bushfires. The community were reportedly divided on whether to rebuild, with the local Country Fire Authority captain arguing against rebuilding and parents of schoolchildren supporting its retention, but the state government has pledged to rebuild the school.
