The Rufus River is a river of the state of New South Wales in Australia. Only some eight kilometres long, it connects Lake Victoria (New South Wales) to the Murray River.
It was discovered in 1830 by explorer Charles Sturt and named after his red-haired (rufus) travelling companion, George Macleay.
