The Doon River is a river in Fiordland, in the Southland Region of New Zealand. It arises near Mount Donald and flows south-east into the south-west arm of Lake Te Anau.[1][2]

The river was explored by Quintin McPherson McKinnon and G. Tucker in 1887.[3]

In 2002, the rainfall at Doon River was 8,719 millimetres (343 in), the highest in that year of any area in New Zealand with a regularly reporting rain gauge.[4]
