The Guy Fawkes River is a river in northern New South Wales, Australia.

The river rises in the Snowy Range, an eastern spur of the Great Dividing Range, near the village of Ebor, New South Wales. The river starts near Round Mountain, the highest peak of the New England Tableland region. The river falls over Ebor Falls and enters a deep valley, flowing generally northward and eventually joining the Clarence River.

The Guy Fawkes River National Park includes a large part of the course of the river.

The river is named after Guy Fawkes. The expedition led by John Oxley were the first Europeans to visit the river,^{[citation needed]} and apparently camped there on Guy Fawkes Day, 1821.
