The Vaitarana River is a river north of the city of Mumbai, India, near its border with Gujarat.
It has a confluence with the Tanasa just before it enters the Arabian Sea. Jhow and Wadhiv islands lie in its estuary. Arnala Island lies off its mouth.
Vaitarna supplies much of Mumbai's drinking water. It is the largest river in the Northern Konkan region and drains Maharashtra's whole Palghar District.
The SS Vaitarna, a steamship, was named after the river.
