The Moruya River is a river on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. The headwaters of the Moruya River rise as the Deua River south of Braidwood. The village of Araluen lies in the upper valley of the river, and the site of gold mining in the late nineteenth century.
The town of Moruya is located on the lower reaches of the river, about 10 kilometers from the sea. The river was previously navigable by coastal shipping to Moruya. The Princes Highway crosses the river at Moruya. The granite used to construct the facings of the pylons of the Sydney Harbour Bridge was quarried from the banks of the Moruya River.
