Tukabatchee or Tuckabutche (Creek: "Tokepahce" ) is one of the four mother towns of the Muscogee Creek confederacy. The pre-removal tribal town was located on the Tallapoosa River in the present-day state of Alabama.
The town is believed to be the first site of the ancient 'busk' fire which began the Green Corn Ceremony. Tukabatchee was the home of Big Warrior, one of the two principal chiefs of the Creeks until his death in 1826. Chief Opothleyahola was born here in 1780
