The Peel River is a river in New South Wales, Australia.
The Peel rises on the northern slopes of the Liverpool Range south of the village of Nundle. It flows generally north and west through the foothills of the Great Dividing Range and emerges into the Liverpool Plains near Tamworth. It flows west and combines with other rivers at Keepit Dam to form the Namoi River.
The Peel River was named after Sir Robert Peel who was an important British politician at the time of its discovery by British settlers in Australia.
