The Rotten Calder Water is a small river which flows along the eastern boundary of East Kilbride new town, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, and along with the Rotten Burn these watercourses form the southern and western boundaries of Blantyre parish. The watercourse in its upper reaches begins as the Calder Water at its true source on Ellrig hill, and is synonymous with the Cleughearn Burn or Park Burn in that district.
Flowing some distance northeast, it is eventually joined by the Lea, Cladden, Linnbog, and Rutheran Burns, whose multiple confluences mostly occur in the area between Langlands Moss and Millwell. This river has also been titled the 'West' or 'South Calder Water', although the latter title is shared by another river in Motherwell.
