The Dahan River (Chinese: 大漢溪, also spelled Tahan) is a 135 km long river in northern Taiwan. It originates in Hsinchu County and then flows through Taoyuan City and New Taipei City, before it joins Xindian River in Taipei to form the Tamsui River. The upper reaches of the Dahan are also known as Takekan Creek (Chinese: 大嵙崁溪; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Toā-kho-khàm-khe) or Taigang Creek (Chinese: 泰崗溪). An alternative historical name for the Dahan is the Shihmen River (Chinese: 石門溪).
