Avery is an unincorporated community that straddles the boundary between Benton County and Hickory County, Missouri, United States. Avery is located on Supplemental Route B, 8.7 miles (14.0 km) north-northeast of Wheatland.[2][3]

A post office called Avery was established in 1890, moving between businesses in Avery from time to time and thus between counties,[4] remaining in operation until 1897.[5] The community has the name of Henry Avery, a county commissioner.[6]
