Coomalie Creek is a locality in the Northern Territory of Australia located about 72 kilometres (45 mi) south-east of the territory capital of Darwin.[1][4]

The locality consists of land bounded to the east by the Adelaide River and whose western boundary lies the immediate west of the Stuart Highway which passes through the locality in a north–south alignment. This locality is named after Coomalie Creek, which flows through the locality, and whose name is considered to be corruption of the aboriginal name, Gumili. Its boundaries and name were gazetted on 29 October 1997.[8][1][3]

The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Coomalie Creek had 20 people living within its boundaries.[2]

Coomalie Creek is located within the federal division of Lingiari, the territory electoral division of Daly and within the local government area of the Coomalie Shire.[6][5][9]
