The River Vartry (irish place name|Abhainn Fheartraí) is a river in Ireland. It rises in Calary Bog under the Great Sugar Loaf mountain in north County Wicklow. Near Roundwood it was dammed in the 1840s in two places to form the Vartry Reservoir.

From the reservoir lakes, it flows east through Ashford, under the N11 and into The Murragh, a marshy area that formed inside a coastal railway line built in the 1860s.

The Murragh drains into the Irish Sea near Wicklow Town.
