Alamuchee Creek is a stream in the U.S. states of Alabama and Mississippi.[2] It is a tributary to the Sucarnoochee River.
Alamuchee most likely is a name derived from the Choctaw language meaning roughly "hiding place".[3] Variant names are "Alamucha Creek", "Alamutchee Creek", "Allamucha Creek", "Allamuchee Creek", "Allamuchy Creek", "Allimucha Creek", and "Allimuchee Creek".[2]
Tributaries include Little Alamuchee Creek and Toomsuba Creek.[4]
The Alamuchee-Bellamy Covered Bridge once crossed Alamuchee Creek prior to being moved to the University of West Alabama campus in 1969.[5]
