The Beasley River is a river in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Contents

The headwaters of the river rise in the Hamersley Range approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) north-west of Tom Price and flows in a south-westerly direction through Woongarra Pool before discharging into the Hardey River.

The only tributary of the river is Beasley River West.

The river was named in 1962 after the surveyor, Thomas Beasley, who first recorded it during an expedition in 1885. Previously the river had been known as the Turner River but was renamed to avoid confusion with the other Turner River in Western Australia.
