Belt Creek (Gros Ventre: kɔyɔ́ɔteihíniicááh, lit. 'belt river' ) is a tributary, approximately 80 mi (129 km) long, of the Missouri River in western Montana in the United States.
It originates in the Lewis and Clark National Forest north of Big Baldy Mountain, in the Little Belt Mountains in western Judith Basin County. It flows northwest through mountainous canyons (Limestone Canyon) past Monarch, through Sluice Boxes State Park, and flows through Armington and Belt. It finally joins the Missouri approximately 15 mi (25 km) northwest of Great Falls of the Missouri.
It is named for the Little Belt Mountains, which it flows through.
