Iskwao Creek, formerly Squaw Creek, is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It begins just north of Davidson and flows south into the Qu'Appelle River downstream and east of Eyebrow Lake. Much of the river's course is through a deep-cut valley that was formed by glacial meltwaters near the end of the last ice age.
Davidson is the only community on the river. There are two reservoirs along its course and two highways cross it. In 1949–50 Enbridge Line 1 was built through the river's valley.
