The Edwards River is a 73.7-mile-long (118.6 km)[2] tributary of the Mississippi River in northwestern Illinois in the United States.[3] It rises 3 miles (5 km) west of Kewanee in southeastern Henry County and flows generally westwardly into Mercer County, where it joins the Mississippi 2 miles (3 km) southeast of New Boston. In Henry County it collects the South Edwards River, which flows past Bishop Hill.
The river was once home to a grain mill near Andover, Illinois. Several sections of the Edwards River's course have been straightened and channelized.
