The Kadisha River or Nahr Abu Ali is a river in Lebanon. It runs 45 kilometres (28 mi) east to west from the Kadisha grotto, halfway between Bsharri and the Cedars of God, to the Mediterranean Sea at Tripoli. The river runs along the Kadisha Valley, carving out deep gorges.

On its passage through Tripoli, it is walled and partially covered. The river is very polluted.
