The South Fork Spring River (commonly South Fork of the Spring River) is a tributary of the Spring River, rough 75 mi (121 km) long,[2] in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas in the United States. The river flows through the Salem Plateau of the Ozarks[2] and it is part of the Spring River Tributaries Watershed.

The South Fork rises in Howell County near the unincorporated community of South Fork, Missouri. The river flows generally southeastwardly from Howell County through Fulton County before joining with the Spring River in Sharp County outside of Hardy.
