The Goodradigbee River is a river in the southeast of the Australian state of New South Wales .

It rises near the Tantangara Reservoir in Kosciuszko National Park at an altitude of 1650 m, flows north and flows into Lake Burrinjuck and thus into the Murrumbidgee River .

The largest part of its 1001 km² catchment area (95%) is forested. Part of the water in the upper reaches is diverted to the Tantangara reservoir via an aqueduct, but otherwise there are no barrages on the river. In 1968 the Australian Capital Territory Development Commission considered building a dam in the Brindabella Valley , from which water should be diverted through a tunnel into the Cotter River .

The bridge over the river at Wee Jasper was completed in 1896. It is listed on the New South Wales List of Monuments as an early example of an Allen- type wooden suspension bridge .
