Kiowa Creek is a stream in Comanche County, Kansas.^[1] Its watershed includes multiple other streams. West Kiowa Creek forms in northeast Clark County, Kansas, and flows generally southeast,^[2][3] passing through the southwestern corner of Kiowa County, Kansas, where it is joined by Turkey Creek and Little Turkey Creek.^[4][5] It continues into Comanche County,^[6] where it is joined by Middle Kiowa Creek,^[7] a southerly-flowing stream originating in Kiowa County to the north.^[4][8] The combined stream flows generally south,^[6] and becomes simply Kiowa Creek at some point.^[1][9] It is later joined by East Kiowa Creek,^[10] also a southerly-flowing stream originating in Kiowa County to the north,^[4][11] and one having its own tributary, Wiggins Creek.^[12] Kiowa Creek continues generally south, and travels along the eastern border of the town of Protection, Kansas,^[13] before becoming a tributary of Cavalry Creek to the southeast of Protection.^[14] Cavalry Creeks feeds into Bluff Creek,^[15] which eventually becomes a tributary of the Cimarron River before that watercourse enters Oklahoma.^[16][17]

This stream should not be confused with the Kiowa Creek in Oklahoma and Texas,^[18] nor the Kiowa Creek in Colorado,^[19] nor the Kiowa Creek in Nebraska,^[20] nor with similarly named creeks elsewhere.
