The Yamato River (大和川, Yamato-gawa) is a river which flows through Nara Prefecture and Osaka Prefecture, Japan. It is designated Class A by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).

The river flows via towns:

• Nara Prefecture
  • Yamatokōriyama
• Osaka Prefecture
  • Kashiwara
  • Fujiidera - confluence with Ishikawa River

Since 1704, the river was reconfigured, originally its flow was north from the Ishikawa River confluence point, where it joined the Shirinashi River and Kizu River.

At the river mouth is a densely populated area and the river forms a natural border between Osaka and Sakai.
