The Seekonk River is a tidal extension of the Blackstone River and Ten Mile River in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It flows approximately 8 km (5 mi). Most historical scholars agree that the name is derived from two Native American words, sucki (meaning black) and honc (meaning goose).
The river begins in name at the confluence of the Pawtucket (Blackstone) and Ten Mile Rivers. From there it flows due south between Providence and East Providence, eventually feeding into the Providence River. The Seekonk River is the northernmost point of Narragansett Bay tidewater.
The upper Seekonk River, in the City of Pawtucket is known locally as the Pawtucket River.
