Mingo Creek is a stream in Stoddard and Wayne counties in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of St. Francis River.

The stream headwaters are within the Mingo Swamp in Wayne County (at 36°59′08″N 90°12′03″W / 36.98556°N 90.20083°W / 36.98556; -90.20083). It flows south into Stoddard County and past the communities of Mingo and Cobb then turns west to re-enter Wayne County just prior to its confluence with the St. Francis about two miles east-southeast of the Wappapello Lake dam (at 36°55′31″N 90°14′42″W / 36.92528°N 90.24500°W / 36.92528; -90.24500) at an elevation of 341 feet (104 m).[1][2]
