The Hickory Stick is a college football rivalry between NCAA Division II teams Northwest Missouri State University and Truman State University.

It is the oldest traveling trophy in Division II football.^[1] No games have been played since 2011, Truman having jumped to the Great Lakes Valley Conference in 2012.

The teams, which are founding members of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association have been playing each other since 1908. With the expansion of the MIAA in 2012, teams in the league will play in divisions and the two schools are in different MIAA divisions. Consequently, starting in 2012 they would have played each other every other year.^[2]
