The River Roding is a river that rises near Dunmow, flows through Essex and forms Barking Creek as it reaches the River Thames in London.

The river marks much of the boundary between the London Borough of Newham and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. The London Borough of Redbridge is named after a crossing of the Roding. In Essex the river forms part of the boundary between the district of Epping Forest and borough of Brentwood.

A group of villages in Essex known collectively as the Rodings, are along the banks of the river close to its source.
