The River Teviot (/ˈtiːvi.ət/ or local /ˈtiːvijɪʔ/), or Teviot Water, is a river of the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, and a tributary of the River Tweed.
It rises in the western foothills of Comb Hill on the border of Dumfries and Galloway. It flows north-eastwards through Teviotdale and past Teviothead, the Colterscleuch Monument, Broadhaugh, Branxholme and Branxholme Castle.
The Teviot passes through Hawick and Lanton, the Timpendean Tower and the town of Ancrum, Harestanes and Monteviot, Nisbet and Roxburgh, before joining the River Tweed to the southwest of Kelso.
