Latorica ( _hu. Latorca; _sk. Latorica; _uk. Латориця, translit.: "Latorytsya or Liatorytsia") is a river in the watershed of the Danube. It flows from Ukraine (156.6 km) to Slovakia (31.4 km), 188 km in total. The watershed is 3,130 km². Its confluence with the Ondava, in Zemplín, gives rise to the Bodrog river, itself a tributary of the Tisza.

A part of its watershed (Latorica Protected Landscape Area, "Ramsar site No. 606", 44.05 km²) was added to the Ramsar list of wetlands of international importance since 1993.
