Mammoth is an unincorporated community in Ozark County, Missouri, United States. Mammoth is located along Supplemental Route T 5 miles (8.0 km) south-southeast of Gainesville. The name Mammoth came into official use with the establishment of the Mammoth Post Office in 1903 by the local post master, William Dye. Mammoth is situated on the confluence of the Possum Walk Creek flowing into Lick Creek. The mouth of Little Creek is located 1-mile (1.6 km) northwest of Mammoth on Lick Creek. It once had its own blacksmith shop, school, grist mill, two general stores, two churches, and a post office. Today, a church, Mammoth Assembly of God, Mammoth Cemetery, and several homes are located there.

The Mammoth Cemetery was formally known as the Miller Cemetery and located in the center of the community near the general mercantile store & post office. This area has always been marked by the flooding of the Lick, Little, and Possum Walk creeks. In the early 1900s, the area experience an overwhelming flood which devastated the cemetery located in the valley. In its wake, graves were disturbed and opened. Local men repaired the coffins and moved all gravesites to a hillside nearby.
