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.
