The Shade River is a tributary of the Ohio River in southeastern Ohio in the United States. Via the Ohio River, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of 221 square miles (572 km²) on the unglaciated portion of the Allegheny Plateau. According to the Geographic Names Information System, the river has also been known historically as "Shade Creek" and as "Devils Hole Creek."

The Shade River flows predominantly as three streams, its east, middle, and west branches. It is formed by the confluence of its middle and west branches, and collects its east branch shortly thereafter:cite book| title= Ohio Atlas & Gazetteer |year=1991 |publisher= DeLorme |location=Yarmouth, Me. |isbn= 0-89933-233-1 |pages= pp. 80-81]

*The Middle Branch Shade River rises southeast of the city of Athens in Athens Township in Athens County, at an elevation of 950 feet (290 m), and flows southeastwardly through Alexander, Lodi, and Carthage Townships in Athens County; and Bedford, Orange, and Chester Townships in Meigs County.

*The West Branch Shade River rises in Scipio Township in Meigs County, at an elevation of 853 feet (260 m), and flows east-southeastwardly for 21 miles (34 km) through Bedford and Chester Townships.

*The East Branch Shade River rises in Lodi Township in Athens County, at an elevation of 916 feet (279 m), and flows south-southeastwardly through Carthage Township in Athens County, and Orange and Chester Townships in Meigs County.

From the confluence of the middle and west branches in Chester Township, the Shade River flows generally eastwardly, past the community of Chester. It collects its east branch from the north at the community of Keno, and enters the Ohio River in Olive Township, approximately one mile (2 km) south of the community of Long Bottom.

Flow rate

At the United States Geological Survey's stream gauge downstream of Chester, the annual mean flow of the river between 1965 and 2005 was 174 ft³/s (5 m³/s). The highest recorded flow during the period was 15,600 ft³/s (442 m³/s) on March 2, 1997. The lowest recorded flow was 0.17 ft³/s (0 m³/s) on September 28, 1987.
