The South River is a tidal estuary, approximately 8 mi long (13 km) long in Carteret County, North Carolina in the United States.
It flows NNE and empties into the estuary of the Neuse River near its entrance into Pamlico Sound. The town of South River sits on western side near its mouth.

Of each of the senses; call it, again and again,
The river that flows nowhere, like a sea.”
