The Gulliver River is a river in the Fiordland area of New Zealand. It starts in the Darran Mountains near the Grave-Talbot Pass, and flows north and then west into the Cleddau River, which runs into Milford Sound.[1] The river was named in 1906 by W.G. Grave for Alf Grenfell, who had a nickname of "Gulliver".[2] A track along the Gulliver River from the Cleddau is suitable for day walks in summer and autumn[3] and can be extended on the Grave Talbot Track into the Espereance valley, past the 59 m (194 ft) high De Lambert Falls and over the Grave Talbot Pass.[4]

In 1975 three remaining kākāpō in the Esperance and Gulliver Valleys were moved to Maud Island.[5]
