The Edward River is a river in the south west Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia. The river is an anabranch of the Murray River, the longest river in Australia.
The river starts at Picnic Point, as a result of the bottleneck created in the Murray by the Cadell fault, travelling north west through River red gum forest before reaching Deniliquin. It then joins the Wakool River before re-entering the Murray.

“Sitting in that dusky wilderness, under that dark mountain, by the bright river which was full of reflected light, still I heard the wood thrush sing, as if no higher civilization could be attained. By this time the night was upon us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
