The Weld River is a river in the South West region of Western Australia.

The river rises below Mount Burnside in the Lake Muir State forest. The river flows in a southerly direction through the Shannon National Park until it flows into the Deep River, of which it is a tributary.

The water quality of the river is excellent and is considered fresh.{{cite journal|url=https://doi.org/10.1023%2FA%3A1009060912470|title=Hydrological exchange and subsurface water chemistry in streams varying in salinity in south-western Australia |year=2006|access-date=3 November 2008|doi=10.1023/A:1009060912470|volume=8|journal=International Journal of Salt Lake Research|pages=361–382|last1=Boulton |first1=A.J. |last2=Marmonier |first2=P. |last3=Davis |first3=J.A. |issue=4 |url-access=subscription }}
