The Border Rivers refers to a group of rivers and the associated region near the border between New South Wales and Queensland, states of Australia.
The rivers rise in the New England Tablelands bioregion and together they form the headwaters of the Darling River, draining the western side of the Great Dividing Range. The eastern boundary of the Border Rivers catchment area extends along the Great Dividing Range divide from Stanthorpe in the north, to Guyra and Uralla, in the south. The western boundary of the region converges near the New South Wales town of Mungindi.
