Bryant Creek (also known as Bryant River) is a stream in the Ozarks region of Missouri, United States.[2] Bryant Creek has headwaters just west of Lead Hill and southeast Cedar Gap in southwestern Wright County and flows in a southeasterly direction through Douglas County east of Ava. It joins the North Fork River in Ozark County just north of Tecumseh and within the waters of Norfork Lake.[3] Its tributaries include Bill Macks Creek, Hunter Creek, Rippee Creek, Fox Creek, Brush Creek, Spring Creek and Pine Creek.[3]

Bryant Creek is named after a pioneer citizen who arrived in the area in the 1830s.[4]
