The O'Connell River is a river in North Queensland, Australia.

The headwaters of the river rise in the Clarke Range, just north of the Eungella National Park. It flows north parallel with the Bruce Highway, then discharges into the Repulse Fish Habitat area near Covering Beach and onto the Coral Sea.

The river has a catchment area of 2,388 square kilometres (922 sq mi), of which 128 km (49 sq mi) is composed of estuarine wetlands.
