Winsel Creek (also called Windsell Creek) is a stream in Crawford and Franklin Counties in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is a tributary of Spring Creek in Franklin County.

The stream headwaters arise in northern Crawford County just west of Sullivan (at 38.19917°N, -91.18611°W ). The stream flows northeast past the north side of Sullivan and crosses under I-44 north of Oak Grove then turns to the northwest and crosses under I-44 again.

Windsel derives its name from a local pioneer citizen named Windsell.
