The Bungay River is a short river in southeastern Massachusetts that is a tributary of the Ten Mile River.

The Bungay River begins in Witch Pond in Foxborough, Massachusetts, at an altitude about 157 ft above sea level. It flows south through Greenwood Lake and through North Attleboro and Attleboro. After 15 river miles, it enters the Ten Mile River in Attleboro, and ultimately empties into Narragansett Bay. Its water basin area is 6.5 square miles.

According to published judgments by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, the river flows through the best red maple swamp in Massachusetts and provides some of the best canoeing across the state. It and surrounding wetlands are under study as wildlife preservation areas.
