Knob Creek is a stream in west central Bates County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Miami Creek.

The stream headwaters arise about 1.5 miles southwest of the community of Burdett and the stream flows south crossing Missouri Route 18 one-half mile west of Lacyville. The stream continues to the south to south-southeast passing under Missouri Route F to its confluence with Miami Creek about three miles northeast of Virginia on Missouri Route 52 and seven miles west-northwest of Butler and US Route 71.[2]

The stream source area is at 38°25′02″N 94°29′52″W / 38.41722°N 94.49778°W / 38.41722; -94.49778 and the confluence is at 38°18′17″N 94°27′38″W / 38.30472°N 94.46056°W / 38.30472; -94.46056.[1]

The name Knob is a corruption of Knabb, the surname of a settler.[3]
