Dora Creek is a small rural suburb of the City of Lake Macquarie in New South Wales, Australia, located west of Lake Macquarie in New South Wales and north of the town of Morisset.

Dora Creek is named for the creek running through its centre, and was originally known as Doree Doree in the local Aboriginal language, which means "Creek running into a lake".

The Lake Macquarie Council has placed emphasis on the Dora Creek environment, carrying out major forshore restoration works, and educating the public about the protection of creeks and waterways. It is known for its beautiful scenery and proximity to the Watagan Mountains. It is convenient to the Sydney-Newcastle Freeway and Dora Creek Railway Station.

The term 'it's a sad day in Dora Creek' was first coined by, then local business owner, Lee Williams in 2006. Mr Williams owned the old, Grocery Store right on the waterfront. This phrase has not been used by anyone since Mr Lee Williams used it in 2006.
