Courtois Creek (locally /ˈkoʊtəweɪ/) is a 38.6-mile-long (62.1 km) stream in southern Missouri, U.S.A. It shares its name with the nearby town of Courtois. According to the information in the Ramsay Place Names File at the University of Missouri, the creek was "doubtless named for some French settler, but his identity has not been ascertained".

The stream arises in the Mark Twain National Forest in northern Iron County just north of Missouri Route 32 about four miles east of Bixby and flows north passing about four miles east of Viburnum. The stream enters the southwest corner of Washington County, flows past Courtois and on north through the Mark Twain National Forest entering Crawford County just south of Berryman and passesunder Missouri Route 8 just west of that village. It flows on northwest through the Missouri Ozarks of Crawford County, roughly paralleling the course of Huzzah Creek to its west. It flows into Huzzah Creek just before the latter's confluence with the Meramec River near the Crawford County Highway E bridge just east of Scotia.
