Telogia Creek is a waterway in Florida. It is a major tributary of the Ochlockonee River.[1] It is used for canoeing.[2] The United States Geological Survey (USGS) monitors its discharge near Bristol.[3] The stream's water quality is monitored at a site near Greensboro.[4] Road crossings include the Telogia Creek Bridge.

Botanist Roland McMillan Harper identified several species in the area of the creek during his travels in Florida 1909–1910.[5]

The surrounding area includes horse properties.

There is a community of Telogia, a scouting Telogia Camp, and a Telogia Creek Road. Lampropeltis getula meansi, the Appalachicola Kingsnake, lives in the area. It is non-venomous.
