The Minnamurra River is a river in the Jamberoo and Kiama areas of the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia. Its drainage area (catchment) contains much of the Jamberoo Valley surrounded by Stockyard Mountain to the north, Jamberoo Mountain to the west and Noorinan and Saddleback Mountain to the south. Its mouth lies immediately north of the Kiama suburb of Minnamurra at Minnamurra Point. The entrance is characterised by a small island just offshore from the mouth.

The name "Minnamurra" is aboriginal for "river of many fish".
