The Rocky River is a perennial river of the Snowy River catchment, located in the East Gippsland region of the Australian state of Victoria.

The river descends 430 metres (1,410 ft) over its 15-kilometre (9.3 mi) course.
The catchment area of the river is administered by the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority.
