The Isis River is a river in the Wide Bay–Burnett region of Queensland, Australia.

Formed by the confluence of the Smith and Sarahana Creeks, the river rises east of Childers and flows in an easterly direction where it joins the Burrum River, south of . Not far from its junction with the Isis River, the Burrum and the Gregory River form a confluence and empty into the Coral Sea at Burrum Heads. The river descends 35 m over its 27 km course.

The drainage sub-basin occupies an area of 526 km2.

South of Childers, the river is crossed by the Bruce Highway via the Isis River Bridge.

The river was named by its European discoverers, two colonial surveyors who likened it to the River Isis in Oxfordshire, England. Other features such as the Isis Highway and the Isis Shire draw their name from the river.
