Suqualena Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Mississippi.^[1] It is a tributary of Okatibbee Creek.

Suqualena is a name derived from the Choctaw language purported to mean (sources vary) "creek on whose banks are camps" or "poor hog".^[2] A variant name is "Sookalena Creek".^[1]

The creek lends its name to the nearby community of Suqualena.^[2]
