Mozingo Creek is a stream in Nodaway County in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is a tributary of the One Hundred and Two River and is 20.0 miles (32.2 km) long. The stream is monitored a few miles southeast of Pickering by the NOAA.
Mozingo Creek has the name of John Mozingo, a pioneer settler. 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.
