The Spercheios (Greek: Σπερχειός, Latin: Spercheus) is a river in Thessaly, Greece. The river begins in the Eurytania prefecture in the Panaitoliko mountains and flows northeast from near Megalo Chorio and into Karpenisi and flows within GR-38 and through Agios Georgios Tymfistos south of the Tymfistos and into the prefecture of Fthiotis. The river flows into a plain in the west-central part and into south of Lamia. The river flows into an area which was dominated by swamp and wetlands which much of the land became used for farming and empties tinto the Malian Gulf.
