Bloods Creek Station is a defunct pastoral lease that once operated as a sheep station and a cattle station in the Far North of South Australia.

The property is situated approximately {{convert|150|km|mi|0}} north of Oodnadatta and {{convert|169|km|mi|0}} east of Kulgera.

The traditional owners of the area are the Arunndta peoples, who remained on the property after the 1920s.[1]

The lease takes its name from Bloods Creek which has some semi-permanent waterholes. The Overland Telegraph passed near one of the waterholes.[2]

In 1901 the state government drilled a {{convert|2002|ft|m|0}} bore and a large windmill was built to reach the hot sub-artesian water which rose to within {{convert|140|ft|m|0}} of the surface. The property was also once an important railhead for the Old Ghan railway.

In 1905 the leaseholder was John Bailes who had introduced Angora goats to the property.[3]

The lease was taken up by Ted Colson, the first white man to cross the Simpson Desert,[2] in 1931. Olson ran sheep, tended the bore and ran a store.[4] Later the lease was amalgamated into the Dalhousie pastoral Company, along with Federal, Mount Dare and Dalhousie Springs leases[5] by Edwin Lowe.[2]
