The Edo River or Edogawa (or, redundantly, Edogawa River) is a river in the Kantō region of Japan. It splits off from the Tone River and flows into Tokyo Bay. Its length is 59.5km.

The course of the Edo River was previously the main course of the Tone River, until it was diverted in the 17th century.
