The Fraser River is a river in the Kimberley of Western Australia.
The river rises northwest of Mount Jowlaenger and flows in an easterly direction passing through some permanent pools such as Ungalete Pool and Lowangun Pool before discharging into King Sound.
The only tributary of the Fraser is Bungarragut Creek.
The first European to discover the river was the explorer Alexander Forrest in 1879. Forrest named the river after Malcolm Fraser, who was the Commissioner of Crown Lands at the time.
The traditional owners of the areas around the river are the Warwa peoples.[2]
