Establishment Creek is a stream in Ste. Genevieve County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Mississippi River.

The stream headwaters are at 37°52′02″N 90°17′53″W[1] between the communities of Sprott and Millers and the stream crosses under U.S. Route 55 and U.S. Route 61 southeast of Bloomsdale.[2] The confluence with the Mississippi is at 38°01′40″N 90°06′45″W.[1] The stream is impounded as Lake Wanda Lee just south of Rocky Ridge.[2]

Establishment Creek was so named on account of pioneer settlement along its course, establishment meaning "settlement" in French.[3]
