Msta (Russian: Мста) is a river in Tver Oblast and Novgorod Oblast of Russia. Msta starts from the Mstino Lake in the Valdai Hills north of the town of Vyshny Volochyok and flows into Lake Ilmen. Up to mid-19th century, Msta had been a part of an important water trade route connecting the Baltic and Black seas. The most important town on Msta is Borovichi.

It is famous for the rapids in a 30 km section between Opechensky Posad and Borovochi, and is a popular rafting route.

The main tributaries of Msta are Berezayka and Uver Rivers.
