The Coen River is situated in the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland (Australia) in 13°37′S 142°08′E / 13.617°S 142.133°E.
The present (1996) [[Pennefather River[[ (renamed 1894) was originally called the Coen river by Jan Carstenszoon in honour of Jan Pieterszoon Coen, Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. The present Archer River was probably confused by Matthew Flinders with Carstenszoon's Coen River. The Coen River is a tributary of the Archer river and was for a time known as the South Coen River.
