The River Gele (Welsh: Afon Gele) is a river in the North Wales and a tributary of the River Clwyd. The town of Abergele takes its name from the river. The spelling is a dialectal spelling of the Welsh word gelau (spear).
The river gives its name to an electoral ward in Clwyd West UK Parliament constituency called Gele.
In 2010 and 2011 there were pollution scares on the river near its meeting point with the River Clwyd at Kinmel Bay.[1]
