Dubois Creek is a stream in Franklin County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary to the Missouri River.
The headwaters arise at 38°28′51″N 91°02′30″W / 38.48083°N 91.04167°W and the confluence with the Missouri is at 38°32′23″N 90°57′21″W / 38.53972°N 90.95583°W.[1] The stream source area is along the east side of Missouri Route A between Union and Krakow. The stream flows northeast passing under Route 47 and then north passing under Route 100 to enter the Missouri floodplain just east of Washington.[2]
Dubois Creek most likely was named after Louis Dubois, an early French frontiersman.[1][3]
