Mud Creek is a stream in St. Francois County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

Mud Creek merges with Middlebrook Creek to form the headwaters of Indian Creek.[2] The confluence is just south of the Iron Mountain Lake community and reservoir.

Mud Creek was so named on account of the muddy character of its water.[3]
