The Dry River is a river in the Northern Territory of Australia.
The headwaters of the river rise under Tinker Hill in the Fitzgerald Range just north of Birrimba Station homestead. The river floes in a north easterly direction moving across the mostly uninhabited plains through Dry River Station and then discharges into the King River, of which it is a tributary, and eventually flows into the Timor Sea.
The only tributary of the Dry River is Forrest Creek.
The river's catchment covers an area of . The eastern parts of the catchment are bounded by the Sturt Plateau. Upper parts of the river have been described as weakly developed.
Western Creek was once a major tributary of the Dry River but it now flows into Elsey Creek. There are a number of waterholes which are permanent on the black soil plains of the river.
