The Newhalen River is a 22-mile (35 km) stream in the Lake and Peninsula Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska.

Beginning at Six Mile Lake, the Newhalen flows south to enter Iliamna Lake about 3 miles (5 km) south of Iliamna.

Alaska Fishing describes the river as the major pathway for a mind-boggling migration of sockeye salmon that ascend the stream in early summer.

The main game fish in addition to sockeye are rainbow trout.
