Blue Spring Creek is a stream in eastern Morgan County and western Miller County in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is a tributary of Little Gravois Creek.[1]

The stream headwaters arise about seven miles southwest of Eldon near Rocky Mount on Missouri Route Y at 38°17′17″N 92°41′55″W / 38.28806°N 92.69861°W / 38.28806; -92.69861 and it flows generally southeast to its confluence with Little Gravois at 38°15′15″N 92°38′56″W / 38.25417°N 92.64889°W / 38.25417; -92.64889 about three miles northwest of the community of Bagnell.[1] Springs including Blue Spring occur about midway along the stream course near the Missouri Route Z crossing.[2]

Blue Spring Creek is fed by a spring characterized by its blue water, hence the name.[3]
