The River Conder is a river in the English county of Lancashire.

The source of the River Conder is a spring at Conder Head on Black Fell near Littledale, from where the stream briefly runs north, then west through Cragg Wood. The river then skirts around Quernmore in a south westerly direction through a disproportionately wide valley, created by glacial action. [ [http://www.ministry-of-information.co.uk/blog1/230704.htm Conder Valley, near Lancaster] , Ministry of Information. Retrieved 12 September 2006.]

The river runs through Ellel and Galgate before turning to the north west, flowing into the Lune estuary between Conder Green and Glasson.

The name of the river was recorded in the 13th century as "Kondover" and "Kondoure", being derived from Brythonic and meaning "crooked waters".
