Choctaw (not to be confused with Choctaw, Bolivar County) is an unincorporated community and Indian reservation located in Neshoba County, Mississippi, United States. Choctaw is approximately 5.3 miles (8.5 km) west of Philadelphia along Mississippi Highway 16.

This 285-acre (1.2 km2) fishing and recreation reservoir opened to the public in 2005.
