The Fawn River is a small river in the southwest of the U.S. state of Michigan and northeast of Indiana. It flows into the St. Joseph River at Constantine. The headwaters arise in a series of lakes and marshes in northern Steuben County, Indiana near Pokagan State Park, where it is known as the Crooked Creek. It flows west across the northeast corner of LaGrange County, Indiana and then northwest over the state line across the southeast corner of Branch County, Michigan before entering St. Joseph County, Michigan. It then passes to the south of Sturgis, Michigan and then meanders across the state line a few more times before flowing north into Constatine. Except for Constatine, the river does not flow through any large communities, although it passes near Orland, Indiana, Sturgis, Howe, Indiana, and White Pigeon, Michigan.
Fawn River Township, Michigan is named after the river.
