The Donne River is a river in the Southland Region of New Zealand. It arises in the Darran Mountains near Karetai Peak and flows south-west to join the Cleddau River. State Highway 94 crosses the Donne just before it reaches the Cleddau. The river was named by W. G. Grave in 1907 after Thomas Edward Donne, the General Manager of the Tourism Department.
