The Diamond Creek Football Club is an Australian rules football club located in Diamond Creek - an outer north-eastern suburb of Melbourne.
Formed in 1904, the club was a founding member of the Whittlesea District Football Association. A move to the Bourke-Evelyn Football League in 1906 was very successful with premierships in 1906 and 1908 and being runners-up in 1907 and 1912.
Nevertheless, Diamond Creek moved to the Heidelberg District Football League after World War I and, in 1922, joined Eltham, Greensborough, Kangaroo Ground, Templestowe and Warrandyte as founding members of the Diamond Valley Football League.
Tim Cusak is the Current Club Captain and best and fairest.
Diamond Creeks last premiership was in 2005 in division 2 defeating Greensborough Football Club.
