Crediton is a rural locality in the Mackay Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, Crediton had a population of 109 people.

The ridge of the Denham Range forms the south-west boundary of the locality, while the Clarke Range (part of the Great Dividing Range) forms the north-west boundary and then extends from north to south through the locality. The terrain is mountainous and has number of named peaks:

Most of the locality is within protected areas with Eungella National Park in the north, Crediton Forest Reserve in the north-west and north-east and Crediton State Forest in the south. This leaves only a small area of freehold land in the north of the locality which is predominantly used for grazing on native vegetation.

Lonely Valley is a neighbourhood (21°11′00″S 148°36′00″E / 21.1833°S 148.6°E / -21.1833; 148.6 (Lonely Valley)).

The Bogle Bathing Pool is a waterhole (21°10′17″S 148°31′40″E / 21.1714°S 148.5278°E / -21.1714; 148.5278 (The Bogle Bathing Pool)).

The Wishing Pool is a waterhole (21°11′00″S 148°33′00″E / 21.1833°S 148.55°E / -21.1833; 148.55 (The Wishing Pool)).

In November 1936 a group of local residents decided that Crediton should have a school and a hall and decided to levy all the residents £1 each towards the cost of erecting a building to initially serve both purposes. However, the building was not built and on 18 October 1943 the Crediton Provisional School opened in a building provided by Edmund Dean Ross. The Crediton Hall was built in 1947 in the area now known as East Crediton and the school transferred into the hall. In 1956 it became Crediton State School and moved into a new building on land adjacent to the hall. The school closed in 1968.
