A water leak detection assembly for a toilet includes a housing and a flow sensor. The housing is mountable externally or internally to a tank of a toilet. The flow sensor is positionable in-line with a fill line that is engaged to the tank and detects a flow of water from the fill line into the tank. A microprocessor is engaged to and positioned in the housing and is operationally engaged to the flow sensor. The flow sensor is positioned to signal the microprocessor of the flow of water. Programming code positioned on the microprocessor enables the microprocessor to distinguish between signals from the flow sensor corresponding to a normal flow of water required for flushing the toilet and a leak of water from the tank into a bowl of the toilet. The microprocessor is positioned to selectively actuate an alert module to notify a user of the leak.
