The Elizabeth River, New Zealand is a river of Fiordland, New Zealand. It rises north of Mount George and flows westward through Fiordland National Park into Doubtful Sound / Patea at Olphert Cove. Elizabeth Island is opposite the river mouth. The river and island were named by Captain John Grono after his brig Elizabeth in late 1822 or early 1823.
