The Abary River (Abary Creek) is a small river in northern Guyana that drains into the Atlantic Ocean.

Historic Amerindian settlements existed at Tiger Island, Taurakuli and Doctor Ho Landing. The largest Arawak settlement was Abary village in the upper Abary River, the site of which now lies under the reservoir created by the Mahaica-Mahaicony-Abary (MMA) project in the 1970s.

In 1672, under an arrangement between the Commander of Essequibo and the Secretary of the Government of Berbice, it was agreed that the Abary River would be the western boundary of the Colony of Berbice.

Rice farming and cattle are the major economic activities in proximity to the river.

It is home to manatees, some of which were moved to Georgetown's National Park and Botanical Garden .
