Willow Fork (also called Willow Creek) is a stream in Moniteau County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of North Moreau Creek.[2]

The stream headwaters arise at 38°39′30″N 92°49′33″W / 38.65833°N 92.82583°W / 38.65833; -92.82583[1] at an elevation of 950 feet just south of U.S. Route 50 about one mile west of Tipton.[3] The stream flows generally to the southeast for approximately seven miles to its confluence with the North Moreau[2] at 38°36′08″N 92°41′40″W / 38.60222°N 92.69444°W / 38.60222; -92.69444 at an elevation of 761 feet.[1]

Willow Fork was so named due to the presence of willow trees along its course.[4]
