Peoria Mineral Springs, Archaeological site and natural spring in Peoria, United States.
The mineral springs produce 30,000 gallons of water daily, situated on a hillside between Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Moss Avenue.
The springs supplied water through wooden pipes to Peoria residents up to two miles away until a central water source near Illinois River became available.

Located at 701 W. 7th Avenue with coordinates 40.695833, -89.604167, the springs remain closed to public access due to safety regulations.
