Big Creek is a stream in southern Madison and northeastern Wayne counties the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of the Castor River.[2]

The stream headwaters are at the confluence of the East Fork Big Creek and Middle Fork Big Creek just south of Buckhorn in Madison County at {{coord|37|20|03|N|90|17|35|W|display=inline}}. The stream flows southeast parallel to Missouri Route M into Wayne County. The stream flows past the communities of Cascade and Gravelton where it turns easterly to enter the Castor River one half mile from the Wayne-Bollinger county line at {{coord|37|17|23|N|90|13|39|W|display=inline,title}}.[1][2][3]

Big Creek was named so because it is large relative to other nearby creeks.[4]
