The Nea River (Southern Sami: Ganka) is an 80-kilometre (50 mi) long river which runs through the municipalities of Tydal and Selbu in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The river Nea is a part of the Nea-Nidelvvassdraget watershed. Some of the main villages along the river include: Østby, Ås, Aunet, and Gressli in Tydal and Flora, Hyttbakken, Selbu, and Mebonden in Selbu.

It begins at the eastern end of the lake Sylsjøen and flows for 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) and then runs into the lake Nesjøen. On the other end of the lake, the river continues through the smaller lake Vessingsjøen before continuing on its westward course. At the municipal center of Ås the river Tya joins it. After that, it follows the Tydalen valley and meets the river Rotla about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) east of Mebonden where it ends when it flows into the lake Selbusjøen.[1]
