Muda River (Malay: Sungai Muda) is the longest river in Kedah, Malaysia. Located in Sik District, the river provides water supply to Kedah and Penang. The Beris Dam, which was completed in 2004 at a cost of RM360 million, is used to regulate the flow of water along the Muda River basin to augment water available for irrigation of paddy or upland crops, for domestic and industrial water supply and other uses.
During monsoon season the rain can lead to heavy flooding. On October 6, 2003, the discharge at Landang Victoria River gauging station was 1340 m³/s.
