Notukeu Creek is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Notukeu means "battle" in the local Indigenous language. The river begins at Notukeu Lake north-east of Shaunavon and flows along the northern slopes of the Wood Mountain Hills east to the Wood River north-east of Gravelbourg. From source to mouth, the river drops about 200 metres (660 ft) in elevation. Highway 13 and a shortline railway follow it for much of its length. Several communities, rural municipalities, bridges, two reservoirs, and a regional park are also along its course.
Notukeu Creek, being a tributary of the Wood River, is within a closed watershed. The Wood River flows north into Old Wives Lake, which has no outflow.
