Soap Creek is a stream in Morgan County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary to the Lake of the Ozarks.

The stream headwaters arise at 38°16′09″N 92°54′09″W and it flows generally east to its confluence with the waters of Lake of the Ozarks at 38°16′26″N 92°48′44″W.[1] The source area lies just east of Missouri Route 135 and it passes under Missouri Route 5 approximately three miles south of Gravois Mills, Missouri just before entering the Lake.[2] Prior to flooding of the lake the stream entered Gravois Creek about 2.5 miles further east.[3]

Soap Creek was so named on account of deposits of soapstone in the area.[4]
