Turkey Creek is a stream in Johnson and Wyandotte counties, Kansas, United States. It is a tributary of the Kansas River, with its mouth near downtown Kansas City. The stream is prone to flooding—a flood in 1998 caused more than $50 million in damage—and so the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers implemented flood control measures. The last 1,261 feet (384 m) of the stream runs through a tunnel.
