The Luckiamute River is a tributary of the Willamette River, approximately 30 mi (48 km) long, in western Oregon in the United States. It drains an area of Central Oregon Coast Range and the western Willamette Valley northwest of Corvallis.

It rises the remote mountains of southwestern Polk County, approximately 10 mi (16 km) west of Pedee. It flows southeast to Hoskins, then northeast past Pedee, then east across southern Polk County. It is joined from northwest by the Little Luckiamute River. It joins the Willamette from the west approximately 10 mi (16 km) north of Albany. The mouth of the river is located approximately 1/4 mile (380 m) downstream from the mouth of the Santiam River, which enters the Willamette from the east.

Major tributary creeks include Boughey Creek, Waymire Creek, Vincent Creek, Plunkett Creek, Woods Creek, Maxfield Creek, and Soap Creek. The Luckiamute Watershed Council also includes Ash Creek in its watershed study area, although it drains directly into the Willamette River.
