Mauses Creek is a tributary of Mahoning Creek in Montour County, Pennsylvania. Flowing through Liberty and Valley Townships, its length is almost 5.9 miles long. Indian Creek is its only named tributary. The watershed of Mauses Creek has an area of 11.40 square miles, and the main rock formations in the watershed are the Bloomsburg and Mifflintown Formation, the Wills Creek Formation, the Hamilton Group, and the Trimmers Rock Formation.

Beginning in Liberty Township, near Mooresburg, flowing south for some distance before turning northeast, running parallel to railroad tracks for a long distance before crossing Pennsylvania Route 642 and making an abrupt turn east. A short distance later, the creek exits Liberty Township and enters Valley Township. Continuing east for a few miles, it flows parallel to Pennsylvania Route 642, and then turns northeast, away from the state route and picks up the tributary Indian Creek after a short distance. Then it turns southeast, flowing parallel to Pennsylvania Route 54. After a long distance, it crosses Pennsylvania Route 642 with Mahoning Creek in the southern edge of Valley Township.
