The Alberga River, also known as the Alberga Creek, is an ephemeral river that is part of the Lake Eyre basin located in the Far North region of the Australian state of South Australia.

The river rises near Indulkana, north of the Oodnadatta Track and about 40 kilometres (25 mi) northwest of the town of Oodnadatta[2] and northeast of Marla.

The Alberga generally flows east by south, joined by eight minor tributaries and three waterholes before reaching its confluence with the Macumba River near the town of Alberga.

[2][3] It was a junction between the central and southern sections on the Australian Overland Telegraph Line between the coasts of Australia.

[4] The southern section, between Port Augusta and Alberga Creek, was contracted to Edward Meade Bagot in 1870.
