The River Ivel is a river in the east of England. It is a tributary of the River Great Ouse.

It rises just north of Baldock in Hertfordshire, but most of its course lies within Bedfordshire. It flows through Stotfold, Arlesey, Henlow, Langford, Biggleswade, Sandy and Blunham. It joins the Great Ouse near Tempsford. The total length is about 25 km. A tributary of the River Ivel is the River Hiz, which joins near the village of Henlow.

The section from Langford to Blunham, including Sandy, is designated as a Flood Warning Area.
