You can create a new doc, spreadsheet, presentation or drawing via the following URLs:
- https://docs.google.com/document/create
- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/create
- https://docs.google.com/presentation/create
- https://docs.google.com/drawings/create
If you're using the paid version of Google Apps, the URLs need to include your domain name:
- https://docs.google.com/a/your.domain.com/document/create
- https://docs.google.com/a/your.domain.com/spreadsheets/create
- https://docs.google.com/a/your.domain.com/presentation/create
- https://docs.google.com/a/your.domain.com/drawings/create
(Correct as of Feb 2018, but liable to change.)

2@kolo The URL to create a new Google Drive Spreadsheet has changed to : docs.google.com/spreadsheets/create– samCommented Nov 9, 2017 at 11:07
Here are some easier-to-remember and faster-to-type links for creating new Google Docs. As of Nov 5, 2018, these all work.
- doc.new, docs.new, document.new, or docs.google.com/create
- sheet.new, sheets.new, spreadsheet.new, or sheets.google.com/create
- slide.new, slides.new, deck.new, presentation.new, or slides.google.com/create
- form.new, forms.new, or forms.google.com/create
- site.new, sites.new, website.new, or sites.google.com/create
- drawings.google.com/create
Note that if you are signed in to Google with multiple accounts (say, personal and work in the same browser), it might not ask you which account you would like to use and may immediately create a document under your first account.

If you're using Google Apps for Business, the URL is slightly different:
https://docs.google.com/a/your.domain.com/document/createCommented Jan 15, 2015 at 8:31
You can also create a document with a given document name:

Edit: Links are now broken.
I realize that this question is as old as the original answer is outdated. The new URL for document creation is https://drive.google.com/document/create, likewise with other new Drive-related files.

There is now a fancy new way: the .new gTLD.
Per QZ, all these URLs now work:
- Docs: doc.new, docs.new, document.new
- Forms: form.new, forms.new
- Sheets: sheet.new, sheets.new, spreadsheet.new
- Sites: site.new, sites.new, website.new
- Slides: slides.new, deck.new, presentation.new
