The Ohinetamatea River is a river in the Westland District of New Zealand. It is also known as Saltwater Creek in the lower reaches.^[1]

The river rises on the north flank of the Copland Range and flows generally northward until it reaches the valley of the Cook River and turns westward. There is a 72 metres (236 ft) high waterfall at 700 metres (2,300 ft) elevation.^[2] The river passes to the south of an ancient glacial moraine which separates its lower reaches from the Cook River valley.^[1]
