Scott Creek Conservation Park is a conservation park in South Australia, approximately 20 km south of Adelaide.
Formerly Peramangk Aboriginal territory, European settlers first arrived in the late 1830s with timber from the area used in the construction of the city of Adelaide. From the 1850s the area was mined for copper and silver, and by the time production was stopped in 1887 due to economic reasons, 310 kilograms of silver had been mined. The land was privately owned until the early 1970s when land was purchased by the South Australian Government, with the park being officially declared in 1985.
