The Yellow River (Irish: An Abhainn Bhuí) is a river in central Ireland, a tributary of the River Boyne.
The Yellow River is called the Ownaboy/Ownaboy in the 1654 Civil Survey, an Anglicisation of abhainn buidhe, "yellow river."
The Yellow River rises in Kilcorbry, north of Croghan and flows in an easterly direction. It passes under the R400 and then turns northeast, flowing under Garr Bridge It meets several tributaries and then its last section forms part of the Meath–Offaly border and passes under Sheep Bridge south of Castlejordan.
