The '''Silver Burn''' or Silverburn River (Manx: ''Awin Rosien'') is a small river, about {{convert|5|mi|spell=in|sigfig=1}} long, on the [Isle of Man](/source/Isle_of_Man) which rises near the [South Barrule](/source/South_Barrule) and flows south. It passes St Mark's and in its lower reaches it flows under the Monks' Bridge at [Ballasalla](/source/Ballasalla), and reaches the sea at [Castletown](/source/Castletown%2C_Isle_of_Man) harbour. Just above Ballasalla, the burn runs through wooded [Silverdale Glen](/source/Silverdale_Glen), a site which the [Manx National Trust](/source/Manx_National_Trust) acquired in 1966.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.gov.im/mnh/heritage/countryside/lowersilverdale.xml|title=Home &#124; Manx National Heritage : Celebrating the Isle of Man's History}}</ref>

The section from the [A3](/source/A3_road_(Isle_of_Man)) south to the [A7](/source/A7_road_(Isle_of_Man)) in Ballasalla makes up the [Silverdale Conservation Area](/source/Silverdale_Conservation_Area), one of [Isle of Man's historic districts](/source/Registered_Buildings_and_Conservations_Areas_of_the_Isle_of_Man), and includes Silverdale Glen Cafe, Monk's Bridge, and [Rushen Abbey](/source/Rushen_Abbey)'s ruins.<ref name=SilverdaleMap>{{cite web|url=https://www.gov.im/media/633089/silverdaleconservationarea.pdf |title=Silverdale Conservation Area |date=1993|accessdate=11 December 2020}} (map)</ref><ref name=Tutt>{{cite report|url=https://www.gov.im/media/633197/silverdaleappraisalwithpicsv2.pdf |title=(Draft) Silverdale and Ballasalla, Malew Preliminary character appraisal |author=Patricia A.

The Silver Burn is joined by the Awin Ruy, a small left-bank tributary, immediately north of Ballasalla.<ref>''Isle of Man: Public rights of way and Outdoor Leisure map (South sheet)'' (7th edn) 1995,  Dept. of Local Government and the Environment,</ref> Between Ballasalla and Castletown, the Isle of Man Railway runs parallel and close to the river, and the southernmost part of the [Millennium Way](/source/Millennium_Way) also follows the river here.
