Provadiya (Провадия, Провадийска река, Provadiya, Provadiyska reka; "Provadiya river") is a river in northeastern Bulgaria. It takes its name from the town of Provadiya. It is 119 km long and has a drainage basin of 2,132 km². The river takes its source from close to the village of Dobri Voynikovo in Shumen Province, flowing southeast and then making a sharp turn northeast to empty into Lake Beloslav.
