Riceford Creek is a stream in Minnesota.[1] The river meanders over about 20 miles (32 km) from the town of Mabel, Minnesota to the town of Yucatan, Minnesota, where it flows into the South Fork of the Root River.

The creek is named after Minnesota Territory politician Henry Mower Rice, who forded this creek in 1856.[2]
