The Richenda River is a river in the Kimberley of Western Australia.
The headwaters of the river rise in the King Leopold Range near Mount Broome then flows in a sotherly direction then flows through Richenda gorge and turns west.

The only tributary to the Richenda river is Dyson Creek.
The traditional owners of the area that the river flows through are the Bunuba people.[2]
