The Branch River is small river in eastern Wisconsin in the United States. It is a tributary of the Manitowoc River, which flows to Lake Michigan.

The Branch River rises in Brown County about 10 mi (15 km) south of Green Bay, and flows generally southeastwardly into Manitowoc County. It joins the Manitowoc River about 6 mi (10 km) west of the city of Manitowoc.
