Scattering Fork is a stream in Audrain County in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is a tributary of the South Fork of the Salt River which it joins approximately four miles southeast of Mexico.
The headwaters arise in southwest Audrian County at 39°07′23″N 92°01′05″W / 39.12306°N 92.01806°W / 39.12306; -92.01806 at an elevation of approximately 890 feet. It flows initially northeast then turns to the east-southeast passing under US Route 54 four miles south of Mexico and on to its confluence with the South Fork at 39°06′29″N 91°51′43″W / 39.10806°N 91.86194°W / 39.10806; -91.86194 and an elevation of 751 feet.
Scattering Fork was so named on account of its irregular course.
