The Adcock River is a river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The headwaters of the river rise in the Philips Range near Qodesh then flow in a south-easterly direction parallel with the Wunaamin-Miliwundi Ranges and past Mount House, Mount Clifton and Mount Hamilton before merging with the Fitzroy River near Fitzroy Bluff.
The Adcock has three tributaries: Throssel River, Annie Creek and Walsh Creek.
Frank Hann named the river in 1898 after Charles and William Adcock of Derby: Hann explained: "Messrs Adcock Bros of Derby were very kind to me and provided exceedingly reasonable in the important matter of a supply of rations."
The traditional owners of the areas around the river are the Nyikina people.[2]
Fish such as Greenway's grunter, the flathead goby and the false spotted gudgeon have been found within the river system.[3]
