The River Clodiagh ({{Langx|ga|An Chlóideach}}) is a small river which rises in Lough Coumduala in the Comeragh Mountains in north County Waterford.{{cite web|url = http://www.waterfordbirds.com/sites_comeraghs.html|title = Lough Coumduala in the Comeragh Mountains}} (It should not be confused with the River Clodiagh in County Kilkenny.) It flows through the villages of Rathgormack, Clonea-Power and Portlaw before joining the River Suir just outside Portlaw.{{cite web|url=http://irishwaterwayshistory.com/abandoned-or-little-used-irish-waterways/the-clodiagh-the-forgotten-navigation/|title=Clodiagh Navigation}} The river is fed by a number of smaller tributaries including Hunts stream and Aughtnawilliam stream.
