Netley Creek Provincial Park is a Manitoba provincial park on the west shore of the Red River north of Selkirk, Manitoba at the mouth of Netley Creek.^[1] It provides visitors with access to these waterways and adjacent Netley-Libau Marsh.

The area was declared a provincial park in 1974.^[2] It is 1.524 ha (3.77 acres) in size.^[2]

The park is in the Gimli ecodistrict of the Interlake Plain ecoregion part of the Boreal Plains ecozone.^[3]

The Red River is prone to flooding in the spring.^[4] The increasing severity of the impact of high water on the park infrastructure and neighbouring cottage leases resulted in a policy to allow much of the park to return to natural vegetation.^[5]
