Llollelhue River (Spanish; Castilian: Río Llollelhue) is a river in south-central Chile. It originates near Futrono in the vicinities of Ranco Lake and flows then in a general southwestern direction until discharging in Bueno River.[1] The city of La Unión and the locality of Daglipulli are located on its western (or right) bank.[2] [3]

Llollelhue River also passes near the village of El Llolly and the locality of Puerto Los Llolles.[4] The river and these two places share an etymology derived from the local word "llolle" meaning fish trap.[4]
