The Isis River is a river in the Wide Bay–Burnett region of Queensland, Australia.{{cite QPN|16866|Isis River|access-date=28 August 2015}}

Formed by the confluence of the Smith and Sarahana Creeks, the river rises east of Childers and flows in an easterly direction where it joins the Burrum River, south of {{QLDcity|Buxton}}. Not far from its junction with the Isis River, the Burrum and the Gregory River form a confluence and empty into the Coral Sea at Burrum Heads. The river descends {{convert|35|m}} over its {{convert|27|km|adj=on}} course.

The drainage sub-basin occupies an area of {{convert|526|km2|sqmi|0}}.{{cite web|url=http://wetlandinfo.ehp.qld.gov.au/wetlands/facts-maps/sub-basin-isis-river/|title=Isis drainage sub-basin|access-date=18 June 2015|work=WetlandInfo|publisher=Queensland Government}}

South of Childers, the river is crossed by the Bruce Highway via the Isis River Bridge.{{cite news| title =Bruce Highway Upgrade Isis River Bridge| publisher =Department of Transport and Main Roads| date =5 September 2011| url =http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/cb7086ac-2ccb-474d-a712-11af52a99fef/brucehighwayupgradeisisriverbridgeinformationsheetoctober2010.pdf| access-date =15 September 2011| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20110815141902/http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/cb7086ac-2ccb-474d-a712-11af52a99fef/brucehighwayupgradeisisriverbridgeinformationsheetoctober2010.pdf| archive-date =15 August 2011| url-status =dead}}

The river was named by its European discoverers, two colonial surveyors who likened it to the River Isis in Oxfordshire, England.{{cite web|url=http://queenslandplaces.com.au/isis-shire|title=Isis Shire|access-date=23 September 2015|work=Centre for the Government of Queensland|publisher=University of Queensland}} Other features such as the Isis Highway and the Isis Shire draw their name from the river.
