Goldberry is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings
. Also known as the "River-woman's daughter," she was the wife of Tom Bombadil.

Although her origins are uncertain, it has been speculated that she is a river-spirit of the river Withywindle, similar to the many named river spirits of traditional English folklore such as Peg Powler of the River Tees, although noticeably gentler. Otherwise, she and Bombadil are enigmas in Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Her name may be a Westron derivative of the Sindarin Golodh-bereth, meaning "Flower Queen". Another explanation offered up for her is that she was orignially a Maia spirit, who "went native" binding herself to the river, perhaps something like Melian binding herself to Elu Thingol. Others have speculated that she may even be Yavanna herself, but this is not widely accepted.

In Tolkien's The Adventures of Tom Bombadil the first poem tells the tale of her "capture" by Tom Bombadil. Category:Middle-earth characters
