Mozingo Creek is a stream in Nodaway County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[3] It is a tributary of the One Hundred and Two River and is 20.0 miles (32.2 km) long.[1] The stream is monitored a few miles southeast of Pickering by the NOAA.[4]

Mozingo Creek has the name of John Mozingo, a pioneer settler.[5] A reservoir was built on the creek called Mozingo Lake about five miles east of Maryville, Missouri. The creek begins in northeastern Nodaway County and flows southwesterly about 8 miles before reaching the north end of Mozingo Lake.

A variant name was Mozingo Branch.[6][7]
