List of rivers in County Clare is an overview of the named rivers and stream flowing (wholly or partly) through County Clare, Ireland.

95% of County Clare is located within the Shannon River Basin with the remainder in the so-called "Western River Basin District".^[1]

Navigable rivers within the Shannon-Fergus system

Commercial traffic has largely ceased, but there is sometimes leisure traffic.

• Moyasta River, Moyasta Bog to Poulnasherry Bay
• Ratty River, also named Owengarney River or O'Garney River,^[3] Shannon tributary, connecting Sixmilebridge. River trade was largely destroyed by the building of the "D’Esterre’s Bridge" with tollhouses in 1784, which was too low for bigger ships and the narrow channel made navigation for smaller ship too dangerous.^[4]
• Rhine, also named Latoon Creek or Ardsollus River, a tributary of the Fergus, connecting Quin
• Scariff River, a Shannon tributary, from Lough O'Grady to Lough Derg.^[5]
