The Wieprz River is a tributary of the Vistula River in central-eastern Poland. It is Poland's eighth-longest river, with a total length of 349 km and a catchment area of 10,497 km2. Its route near the town of Czna contains a protected area. The river rises in Lake Wieprz, passes through Wieprzów Tarnawacki near Tomaszow Lubelski, and empties into the Vistula at Dblin. The Wieprz River is linked to another river, the Krzna, by the 140-kilometer Wieprz-Krzna Canal, which was completed between 1954 and 1961. The Wieprz, with its vast valley, offers a rich natural environment since it has not been controlled. Numerous birds, European otters, and Eurasian beavers live in the winding river with its oxbow lakes.

Units of the Polish 4th Army congregated near the Wieprz during the Polish-Soviet War, preparing for the Battle of Warsaw. During the Invasion of Poland in September 1939, the Battle of Tomaszow Lubelski by the Wieprz took place.
