Tumbarumba Creek, a watercourse^[3] of the Murray catchment within the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the region bordering the Riverina and Australian Alps of New South Wales, Australia.

The creek rises below Tumbarumba Hill, south of Laurel Hill, on the western slopes of the Snowy Mountains, and its natural flow drains generally south, joined by three tributaries including Paddys River, before reaching its confluence with the Tooma River, south of the village of Tooma; descending 358 metres (1,175 ft) over its 30 kilometres (19 mi) course.^[3][4]
