The Caravelas River ({{langx|pt|Rio Caravelas}}) is a river that enters the Atlantic Ocean in the south of the state of Bahia, Brazil.

The community of Caravelas is on the left shore of the river a few kilometres above its mouth.

The river flows through the Cassurubá Extractive Reserve, a {{convert|100768|ha}} sustainable use conservation unit that protects an area of mangroves, river and sea where shellfish are harvested.{{citation|ref={{harvid|RESEX do Cassurubá – ISA}}|language=Portuguese
