The Eping River is a tributary of the Kamarang River in Region 8 of Guyana.

The area is a part of the Roraima Basin, which is an area rich in gold deposits[1] and has been extensively mined.[2]

Eping Landing is a small settlement along the river. The river runs by Mt. Raschaxe a tepui in the Merume mountain range.

Plants first collected in the surrounding area include psychotria sandwithiana (a flowering plant), rhynchocladium stayermarkii, compsoneura ulei (tree).
