The River Bride ({{Langx|ga|An Bhríd}}) is a river in counties Cork and Waterford in Ireland. It is a tributary of the Munster Blackwater. Rising in the Nagle Mountains, it flows eastward, passing through the towns of Rathcormac, Castlelyons, Conna and Tallow, before joining the Blackwater at Camphire, approximately {{convert|3|miles}} north of Youghal. The English poet Edmund Spenser is reputed to have written part of his poem "The Faerie Queene" on the banks of the Bride in the Conna area.{{cite book|last=O'Reilly|first=Peter|title=Rivers of Ireland: A Flyfisher's Guide|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=C2hd5XBKFrkC&pg=PA373|accessdate=9 March 2012|date=August 2003|publisher=Stackpole Books|isbn=978-0-8117-0072-6|pages=373–|archive-date=3 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140103072640/http://books.google.com/books?id=C2hd5XBKFrkC&pg=PA373|url-status=live}} The river runs through the baronies of Barrymore and Imokilly.
