Template:Geobox The Goyder River is a river in the Northern Territory, Australia.
The headwaters of the river rise at the base of the Mitchell Range and flow north west before crossing the Central Arnhem Road then veering north and eventually discharging into the Glyde River.
The river catchment occupies an area of 10,391 square kilometres (4,012 sq mi) and is wedged between the Blyth River catchment to the west, the Walker and Roper River catchments to the south and the Buckingham and Koolatong River catchments to the east.[1]
Thought to have been named in 1868 by Captain Cadell during his expedition on HMS Firefly, the river is named for George Goyder, the then Surveyor General of South Australia.[2]
