The River Mahon (in Irish, an Mhachan) flows from the Comeragh Mountains in County Waterford, Ireland.

Falling down the 80-metre Mahon Falls and proceeding past the "Fairy Bush", the river then passes through the village of Mahon Bridge and on past Flahavan's Mill and under the 8-arched rail bridge in Kilmacthomas. Finally ending its journey at Bunmahon (literally "the bottom of the Mahon") on Ireland's south coast, the river drains into the region of the Atlantic Ocean known as the Celtic Sea.
