A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river.

Small rivers can be referred to using names such as creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size.
