The Quillayute River is a river in Clallam County in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Washington.

The river is formed by the confluence of the Sol Duc River to the Bogachiel River west of Forks. The Quillayute River flows as a broad river with little slope westward, until it empties into the Pacific Ocean after nine kilometers at La Push. He has the largest catchment area in Clallam County through its tributaries, in addition to the Bogachiel and Sol Duc River, it is primarily the Calawah and the Dickey River, which still flows shortly before it flows into the Pacific from the right. Because of its short length, the tide is in the Quillayute River already noticeable. Prior to his mouth lies the rocky island James Iceland.
