Neosho Falls is a city in Woodson County, Kansas, United States.

[6] Neosho Falls was originally platted and extensively improved by a company led by Benjamin F. Goss and his brother N. S. Goss, who would later organize a company of cavalry in the area to fight for the Union in the American Civil War.

The town was largely destroyed and abandoned when the Neosho River overflowed during the Great Flood of 1951.
