The Cobungra River is a river of Gippsland in eastern Victoria, Australia.

The Cobungra River rises below the slopes of the ski resort at Mount Hotham and Mount Loch. At its confluence with the Big River in the Alpine National Park, near Anglers Rest on the Omeo Highway, the two rivers become the Mitta Mitta River, itself a tributary of the Murray River.

The current historical Omeo Highway bridge at Anglers Rest stands on the site of the former river ford known as Jack's Crossing, named for an overseer at the nearby Mount Wills station who drowned while leading a team of packhorses across the flooded river in 1856.^[1]

The Cobungra River is particularly noted as being good for trout fishing,^[1] in particular brown trout.^[2] It was one of just thirteen locations worldwide featured on the fly fishing documentary television series A River Somewhere.^[3]
