Der River Duddon ist ein Fluss im Lake District in Cumbria in England.

Der Duddon entspringt auf dem Wrynose Pass und fließt über eine Strecke von 24 km in südlicher Richtung durch das Duddon Valley bis Broughton-in-Furness, wo er sich zu einem Mündungstrichter weitet; dieser mündet nördlich der Morecambe Bay in die Irische See.

Der Fluss ist die Heimat von Lachsen und bei Kajakfahrern mit Schwierigkeiten von III und teilweise IV beliebt.

Der Dichter William Wordsworth hat den Duddon in seinen Gedichten The River Duddon, A Series of Sonnets, die zwischen 1804 and 1820 entstanden, beschrieben.
