The Rio Cobre is a river of Jamaica. Its source is unclear on the best map available,[1] the headwaters being a writhing of unnamed, seasonally dry tributaries. The highest of these rise just above the 1,750 feet (530 m) contour. From here it flows to meet the Caribbean Sea in the north west corner of Kingston Harbour.

Its most significant feature is perhaps the gorge through which it runs between Bog Walk and northern Spanish Town.
