The Karuah River is a major river in the Great Lakes Area of the Australian state of New South Wales. It is fed by numerous creeks and streams on the south side of the Gloucester Tops Ranges which makes up part of the Great Dividing Range.

The river makes its way down to the village of Booral and onwards through scrubland in to the Great Lakes system.

Initially named Clyde by Lachlan Macquarie, the use of the aboriginal name became prevalent subsequently.[1]
