The Corentyne / Courantyne / Corantijn River is a river in northern South America. The river originates in the Acarai Mountains and flows northward for approximately 700 km (450 miles) between Guyana and Suriname, emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Corriverton, Guyana and Nieuw Nickerie, Suriname. A ferry service operates between these two towns.

Small ocean-going vessels are able to navigate the river for about 70km, to the first rapids at Orealla, Guyana.
