The Chamberlain River is a river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The headwaters of the river rise in the Durack Range near Yulumbu. The river flows in a northerly direction along the range until it merges with the Pentecost River near El Questro Station.
The traditional owners of the area are the Kitja people.[2]
The river was named in 1901 by the surveyor Frederick Brockman. The river was named after Fremantle shipbuilder and Broome Pearler William Alfred Chamberlain.
