The Caboolture River is a small river in South East Queensland. It rises in the D'Aguilar Range near Ocean View and flows through Caboolture and Morayfield before entering Deception Bay at Beachmere.

There are no dams on the waterway and the only major crossing is the Bruce Highway bridge.

In the past the river was used to transport timber downstream to steamers in the bay.
