Lachish River (Hebrew: נחל לכיש‎) is a river in Israel that flows into the Mediterranean Sea at the city of Ashdod. The basin square is 1020km and the length is about 70km. The river sources are in Judea area and the stream often floods during the rainy season.

The river is polluted by industrial waste and sewage, due in part to its location separating the industrial zone and port from the rest of Ashdod. A rehabilitation program has been performed over the last years with mixed success.
