Fish River Station is a conservation area located approximately south of Daly River and south of Darwin within Australia's Northern Territory.

The northern and eastern boundaries are formed by the Daly River, while the Wingate Mountains lie to the west. To the south, it is adjacent to Dorisvale and Florina Stations.

In 2011, the property was purchased for 13 million by the Indigenous Land Corporation in partnership with the Nature Conservancy, Pew Environmental Group, and the Australian Government's National Reserve System. The seller was Melbourne-based barrister Alan Myers.

The station encompasses sections of the Daly River floodplain, which includes numerous billabongs, rainforest patches, rugged mountain ranges, and savannah woodland.

The land's traditional custodians are the Wagiman, Labarganyan, Malak Malak, and Kamu peoples. After acquisition, stewardship was handed back to these Indigenous groups by the Indigenous Land Corporation.
