The **River Mardle** is a tributary of the [River Dart](/source/River_Dart) in [Devon](/source/Devon), England.

It rises on Holne Moor on [Dartmoor](/source/Dartmoor) and flows in a generally south-easterly direction. It forms a short part of the boundary of [Dartmoor National Park](/source/Dartmoor_National_Park) near its confluence with Snowdon Brook and Chalk Ford, where it is crossed by the [Two Moors Way](/source/Two_Moors_Way). After this, it flows through Scae Wood and then farmland until it reaches the town of [Buckfastleigh](/source/Buckfastleigh) where it passes under the [A38 road](/source/A38_road) and the [South Devon Railway](/source/South_Devon_Railway_(heritage_railway)) to meet the River Dart near [Buckfastleigh railway station](/source/Buckfastleigh_railway_station).
