The River Barrow (Irish: "Abhainn na Bearú" or "An Bhearú") is a river in Ireland. It is one of The Three Sisters; the other two being the River Suir and the River Nore. The Barrow is the longest and most prominent of the three rivers. At 192 km (120 mi), it is the second longest river in Ireland, behind the River Shannon.

The source of the River Barrow is at Glenbarrow in the Slieve Bloom Mountains in County Laois.

Among the towns that the River Barrow passes through on its way to the sea in Waterford are Portarlington, Monasterevan, Carlow and New Ross. The Barrow links with the Grand Canal at Athy.
