Suqualena Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Mississippi. 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". A variant name is "Sookalena Creek".
The creek lends its name to the nearby community of Suqualena.
