McCreary is an unincorporated urban community in the Municipality of McCreary, Manitoba, Canada.

McCreary covers an area of 1.70 km2, and has a population of 472. As the self-proclaimed "Ski Capital of Manitoba," the former village previously held significance as the closest settlement to the former Mount Agassiz Ski Area.
McCreary was named for the surrounding Municipality of McCreary, both of which share their name with the local post office, which adopted the name in 1899 from William McCreary.
McCreary was incorporated as a village in 1964, but was amalgamated into the Municipality of McCreary on 1 January 2015.
