The Opouri River is a river of the Marlborough Region of New Zealand's South Island.[1] It flows generally west from its sources in the Bull Range, a coastal ridge overlooking the Marlborough Sounds, joining with the Rai River 15 kilometres (9 mi) west of Havelock.
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "place of sadness" for Ōpōuri.[2]
