Buick is an extinct town in southwest Iron County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.[1]

The town was located on Missouri Route KK, four miles southeast of Boss and 3.5 miles south of Bixby.[2]

The area is the location of the Buick Mine, owned by the Doe Run Company.[3]

A post office called Buick was established in 1918, and remained in operation until 1955.[4] The community was named for the fact the first car owner in the area drove a Buick.[5]
