The Tapi River (or Taptee) flows in central India from east to west, between the Godavari and Narmada rivers. It flows through Surat, and is crossed by the Magdalla ONGC Bridge.

The river is supposedly named after the goddess Tapti, the daughter of Surya, the Sun god, who according to legend founded the Kuru Dynasty when she married King Samvarna.
