The Mulberry Fork is a tributary of the Black Warrior River, approximately 100 mi (161 km) long, in northern Alabama in the United States. One of two forks, along with the Locust Fork, that join to form the Black Warrior. It drains part of the southernmost end of the Appalachain Mountains north and west of Birmingham in the watershed of the Mobile River.
It rises in northeastern Cullman County, south of Arab. It flows in tight meanders along a ridge of the foothills, forming the boundary between Cullman and Blount counties. It receives the Sipsey Fork from the northwest approximately 15 mi (24 km) east of Jasper. In southern Walker County it enters Bankhead Lake reservoir, forming the northermost arm of the lake, approximately 10 mi (16 km) long. The confluence with the Locust Fork is now submerged within Bankhead Lake, approximately 25 mi (40 km) west of Birmingham.
