The Ward River, part of the Murray-Darling basin, is a river in Central West Queensland, Australia.
The headwaters of the river rise in the Warrego Range, south of Tambo. Formed by the confluence of Larry Creek and Rams Gully in Lansdowne, the river flows generally south, mostly as braided channels, before reaching its confluence with the Warrego River south-west of Charleville that ultimately flows into the Darling River.
