The River Caldew is a river running through Cumbria in England. Historically, the county watered by the Caldew was Cumberland.

The Caldew's source is high up on Skiddaw, between the summit and Sale How, in the Lake District, from where it runs east through a valley between Bowscale Fell and Carrock Fell.

At Hutton Roof, the river emerges from the dale and turns sharply northwards, a course taking it through the settlements of Hesket Newmarket, Sebergham, Gaitsgill, Buckabank and Dalston.

The river enters the suburbs of Carlisle close to Cummersdale. In Carlisle, the Caldew skirts around the castle before emptying into the River Eden opposite Stanwix.
