List of rivers of Australia

Rivers are ordered alphabetically, by state. The same river may be found in more than one state as many rivers cross state borders.

Longest river by state or territory
Although the Murray River forms much of the border separating New South Wales and Victoria, it is not Victoria's longest river because the New South Wales border is delineated by the river's southern bank rather than by the middle of the river. The only section of the river formally within Victoria is a stretch of approximately 11 km where it separates Victoria and South Australia. At this point, the middle of the river forms the border.

Rivers by state or territory
The following is a list of rivers located within Australian states and territories. Where a river crosses a state or territory boundary, it is listed in both states and territories. Where a river has a name that includes the word creek, it has been officially designated as a river.
