Cobrabald River
Origin	New South Wales
Basin countries	Australia

The Cobrabald River is a river on the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. The headwaters of the river rise in high country on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range about 3.2 kilometres south east of Branga Swamp and 50 kilometres south of Walcha.

It flows generally north and then north-west for about 48 km before its confluence with the Macdonald River about 6.4 km north-west of Cobrabald Mountain.

The Cobrabald River was previously known as Cobrabald Creek and also as St Leonards Creek (Part).

The entire length of the Cobrabald River is within the boundaries of Walcha Shire and Vernon County.

The country along the Cobrabald River is a rich grazing area used for rearing livestock.

The Walcha fishing club stocks this river annually and it is one of the best trout fishing rivers in NSW. A fossicking area is also available in a reserve just off the Niangala Road and along the Cobrabald River.^[1]
