Beardy River, a perennial river that is part of the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia.
Course
The river rises 14 km north–north–west of Deepwater and flows south–west, west–north–west and then north–north-west, before its confluence with the Dumaresq River, about 16 km south–east of Bonshaw. The river generally runs south of Torrington State Recreation Area, descending 675 m over its 90 km course.
