Orara River, a perennial stream of the Clarence River catchment, is located in the Northern Rivers district of New South Wales, Australia.
Major communities along the river include Coramba, Nana Glen, Glenreagh, Coutts Crossing, Ramornie, and Eatonville.
In recent years, the river has suffered from overuse, particularly due to irrigation projects and the river's use as the major source of water for the city of Coffs Harbour. This has led to in the river, and the virtual decimation of the river's freshwater fish stocks.
The name of the river is believed to be derived from Urara, an Aboriginal phrase meaning "where the perch live".
