Krka is a river in Croatia's Dalmatia region, with length circa 73 km; famous for its numerous waterfalls.

The river has its source near the border of Croatia with Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the foot of the Dinara mountain. It flows past Knin in Inner Dalmatia towards the south and enters the Prokljansko jezero near Skradin. The best known sites on the river path are the island Visovac and the Monastery Krka.

Before its outflow the river forms beautiful and well known waterfalls called Skradinski Buk, part of Krka National Park.
