The Lehrde is a 22 km long, right tributary of the river Aller in Lower Saxony, Germany.

It rises east of Kettenburg, a village in the borough of Visselhövede, in the Öttinger Ochsenmoor nature reserve. It then heads westward, crossing the district of Soltau-Fallingbostel, passing the villages of Stellichte and Lehrden. The Lehrde continues across the southern part of the district of Verden. Northeast of Wittlohe it is joined from the left by the Vethbach and discharges south of Hohenaverbergen into the Aller.

The setting for the fairy tale of the Town Musicians of Bremen is along part of the river Lehrde.
