TheBendoc River is aperennial river of theSnowy River catchment, located in theAlpine regions of the states ofVictoria andNew South Wales,Australia.

The Bendoc River rises withinErrinundra National Park on theErrinundra Plateau, approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south by east ofBendoc, inEast Gippsland, Victoria. The river flows generally north northwest, west northeast, southeast, and then northeast, joined by four minortributaries, before joining with theQueensborough River to form theLittle Plains River approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) south southwest of Craigie, north of theBlack-Allan Line that forms part of the border between Victoria and New South Wales.^[1] The river descends 92 metres (302 ft) over its 22-kilometre (14 mi)course.^[3]

The name of the river is believed to be derived from adock that was located on the river in Victoria, adjacent to a pastoral lease held byBenjamin Boyd. The dock was named "Ben's Dock". However, there was a lack of uniformity in the spelling, variously as Bendoc or Bendock, in relation to a mountain, the river, a parish, and the town near the Victoria and New South Wales borders. In 1966, theShire of Orbost informed the Victorian government that local sentiment wished to retain the spelling Bendoc. The matter was finalised when the decision of the Minister of Lands was published in the Victoria Government Gazette on 29 May 1968, proclaiming the town and river to be spelt Bendoc.^[2]
