The '''Hammond River''' is a [[tributary]] of the [[Kennebecasis River]] in [[New Brunswick]], [[Canada]]. It runs approximately {{convert|40|km|mi}} in southern [[Kings County, New Brunswick|Kings County]] along the border of [[Saint John County, New Brunswick|Saint John County]]. It rises in the Caledonia Highlands near the rural community of [[Hammondvale, New Brunswick|Hammondvale]] and runs in a westerly direction to its junction with the Kennebecasis River. Near the mouth of the river, at the rural community of [[Nauwigewauk]], the river is joined by a short tributary draining [[Darlings Lake, New Brunswick|Darlings Lake]].

The Hammond River is one of the few rivers in the world that still has spawning [[Atlantic salmon]]. It was named for [[Andrew Hamond]], [[Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia]] from 1781 to 1782, who owned land in the area.<ref name="archive">{{cite web|url=https://archives.gnb.ca/Exhibits/Communities/Details.aspx?culture=en-CA&community=1636|title=Hammond River|work=Provincial Archives of New Brunswick|publisher=Government of New Brunswick}}</ref>
