The Green River is a tributary of Five Rivers in the U.S. state of Oregon. It arises in the Siuslaw National Forest of the Central Oregon Coast Range and flows generally northeast to meet Five Rivers upstream of the rural community of Fisher. The confluence is about 15 miles (24 km) from the larger stream's confluence with the Alsea River. The Green River's named tributaries from source to mouth are the East Fork Green River and Ryan Creek.
