Disputanta is an unincorporated community located in Rockcastle County, Kentucky, United States. It is located on Kentucky Route 1787.

The name Disputanta is said to have arisen from a dispute over the name of the new defunct post office. [2] Many residents of the area refer to the area by Clear Creek.

Anglin Falls, a trail apart of the John B. Stephenson Memorial Forest, is a common attraction for hikers as it boasts a 75 foot tall waterfall.
