The River Erriff (Irish: Abhainn na hOirimhe)[2] is a river in Ireland, flowing through County Mayo.[3] A spate river, it is characterised by lively streams and deep fish-holding pools.[4] A waterfall called Aasleagh Falls (Irish: Eas Liath, meaning 'grey waterfall')[5] is near the mouth of the river.
The River Erriff forms from the union of the Owenree River and Owenmore River in Glennacally. It flows west-southwest parallel to the N59, passing under Aasleagh Bridge and entering Killary Harbour.
