Mutton Hollow is a valley in western Taney County, Missouri.[1] Mutton Hollow lies southwest of Missouri Route 76 west of Branson. It drains southwest and joins Fall Creek just east of the Taney-Stone County line. Mutton Hollow is approximately one mile in length.[2] The head of Mutton Hollow is at about 1300 feet in elevation just below Route 76[2] and the elevation at the confluence with Fall Creek is 912 feet.[1]

Mutton Hollow was named for the fact sheep were kept in the valley.[3]
