The River Anker is a river in England. The river flows through the centre of Nuneaton towards Tamworth in Staffordshire. The river continues on before merging with the River Tame in Tamworth. The Anker is popular with anglers and is known to contain some large pike and chub.
The River Anker has flooded Nuneaton several times in the past until a storm burst flood relief in Weddington made sure that the river would not flood Nuneaton Town Centre.
The River however in 2007 flooded Liberty Way, forcing Nuneaton Borough and Nuneaton RFC to cancel matches while the river water was cleared up.
The Rivers name is used for Anker Radio, A Radio Station in Nuneaton which broadcasts within George Eliot Hospital in the town.
