Cross River is the main river in the Cross River State of southeastern Nigeria. The Cross River drains into the Bight of Biafra in the extreme southeastern corner of Nigeria's coastline.

The Cross River forms a boundary between two tropical moist forest ecoregions, the Cross-Niger transition forests which lie west of the river, between the Cross and Niger Rivers, and the Cross-Sanaga-Bioko coastal forests, which lie to the east between the Cross River and the Sanaga River of Cameroon.
