The Gudar is a river of central Ethiopia.[1] It is a tributary of the Abay or Blue Nile on the left side; tributaries of the Gudar include the Dabissa and the Taranta. The Gudar River has a drainage area about 7,011 square kilometers in size.[2] It was bounded by the historical Endagabatan province.[3]

A Greek resident built the first bridge over the Gudar in 1897.[4]
