Old Mans Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Iowa.[1] It is a tributary to the Iowa River.

According to tradition, Old Mans Creek was so named because it was where Native American elderly men, women, and children hid out during tribal wars.[2]

The Meskwaki called the creek, Push-i-to-nock See-po. (From the Rohret Family History book).
