Monktonmead Brook is a small river on the Isle of Wight. Its water quality was classed as moderate. It flows from the chalk downland Ashey Down through meadows, farmland and various woodlands and drains out into the sea at Ryde via a concrete outfall. It used to have a wide river mouth before being canalised and pumped underground during after the construction of the esplanade and Cornwall Street.
