Abbott Branch is a stream in northern Iron County, Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Courtois Creek.[2]

The stream headwaters arise at 37°41′50″N 90°59′02″W / 37.69722°N 90.98389°W / 37.69722; -90.98389 and the confluence with Courtois Creek is at 37°42′30″N 91°02′42″W / 37.70833°N 91.04500°W / 37.70833; -91.04500.[1] The community of Good Water lies on Courtois Creek about 2000 feet north of the confluence and Missouri Route Z crosses the stream about 1000 feet east of the confluence. The headwaters of the stream arise just north of Missouri Route 32 about 1.2 miles (1.9 km) east-southeast of the confluence.[3] Viburnum lies about 4.0 miles (6.4 km) west of the confluence.

Abbott Branch has the name of Robert Abbott, an early settler.[4]
