The Otram River, formerly the Port Maria River or the Port Maria Western River, is a river in Saint Mary Parish, Jamaica. It reaches the sea in the parish capital of Port Maria and contributes to flooding in that town. [2]

It is joined at Trinity by the Negro River, where an aqueduct, completed in 1797, of over a mile's length once drew water from the Otram to supply Trinity sugar plantation there. [3]
