Bóbr (Czech: Bobr, German: Bober) is a river which runs through the north of the Czech Republic and the southwest of Poland, a left tributary of the Oder River, with a length of 272 kilometres (169 mi) (2 in Czech Republic, 270 in Poland, 10th longest Polish river) and a basin area of 5,876 square kilometres (2,269 sq mi) (46 in Czech Republic and 5,830 in Poland).
The Bóbr orginates in the Rýchory mountains in the southeast of the Karkonosze range, where the source is located near the small Bobr village of the Žacléř municipality in the Czech Hradec Králové Region. Shortly after it crosses the border to Polish Niedamirów and runs northwestwards through the Jelenia Góra valley of the Western Sudetes to the dam of Pilchowice and into the plains of Lower Silesia, where the parallel Kwisa river joins it. The river finally flows into the Oder near the town of Krosno Odrzańskie.
Since the Middle Ages the lower Bóbr river north of Żagań marked the border between the historic regions of Silesia in the east and Lower Lusatia to the west.
