Indian Creek is a stream in Texas County, Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Big Piney River.

The stream source is south of Missouri Route 17 west of Yukon. It flows west-northwest passing under U. S. Route 63 south of Houston and enters the Big Piney southwest of Houston.[2]

Indian Creek took its name from an old Shawnee Indian settlement near its course.[3]
