The South Branch Raritan River is a tributary of the Raritan River in central New Jersey in the United States.

The source of the South Branch Raritan River is the outflow from Budd Lake, a glacial remnant located a few miles northeast of Hackettstown. The river flows out of Morris County, down the middle of Hunterdon County, and along the western edge of Somerset County.

At its end, it forms the border between Branchburg and Hillsborough Townships and, upon reaching the border of Bridgewater Township, joins the North Branch Raritan River to form the main Raritan River, which flows generally eastward from point.

The unincorporated village of South Branch is located in Hillsborough Township.
