The Nihongo|Fuji River|富士川|Fujikawa or Fujigawa flows from Yamanashi Prefecture to Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan. It is 128 km long and has a drainage area of 3990 km². With the Mogami River and the Kuma River, it is regarded as one of the three most rapid flows of Japan

The river rises from Mount Nokogiri in northwest Yamanashi as the Kamanashi River, and meets the Fuefuki River in the town of Ichikawamisato. There it changes its name to the Fuji River. Then it flows around the west foot of Mount Fuji and into Suruga Bay at its mouth in the city of Fuji.

Daimyo Takeda Shingen built banks bearing his name (信玄堤, "Shingen-zutsumi") along the Kamanashi, which allow water to flood buffer zones to control damage. Water transportation prospered until the opening of the Fuji Minobu Railway (now the JR Central Minobu Line) in 1923. The river divides Japan by electric line frequency, with 50 hertz supply in the east, and 60 in the west.

The view of the Shinkansen train crossing the river against the background of Mount Fuji is a celebrated scene representative of Japan.
