The Mokelumne River is a river flowing from the Sierras to a confluence with the San Joaquin River in the Central Valley of California. The name, pronounced [ mɑ.ˈkel.ʌm.ni ], is Plains Miwok and is constructed from moke, meaning fishnet, and -umne, a suffix meaning "people of". The town of Mokelumne Hill was named for the river in about 1850.
The Lower Mokelumne River is the portion of the river below Camanche Dam.
