The East Bay River (also called the East River[1] and historically known as The River Jordan or the Chester River[2]) in Florida is a 15adj=midNaNadj=mid[3] river located in Santa Rosa[4] and Okaloosa counties.

The river forms part of the southern boundary of Eglin Air Force Base.
There is one public boat launch ramp located on the river, along State Road 87 in Holley, near the outlet into Pensacola Bay.[5]
Named tributaries include Alligator Creek,[6] and Panther Creek.[7]
The average discharge rate is 40 cubic feet per second.
