The Buller River is a river in the Mid West region of Western Australia, near Geraldton.

The river is a short coastal stream of around 10 km length just to the north of Geraldton, in the Drummond Cove and Oakajee areas. The headwaters of the river are 25 kilometres (16 mi) north of Geraldton. The Buller flows in a southerly direction, initially following the east side of the North West Coastal Highway to a point 4 kilometres (2 mi) north of Drummond Cove, where it turns to the west, to discharge into the Indian Ocean.
