The Vendée is a small river in western France, right tributary to the river Sèvre Niortaise. Its source is near L'Absie, in the west of the Deux-Sèvres département. For a few km it forms the border between the départements Vendée (named after the river) and Charente-Maritime, before it flows into the Sèvre Niortaise near Marans.
It flows through the following départements and towns:
- Deux-Sèvres: Saint-Paul-en-Gâtine
- Vendée: Mervent, Fontenay-le-Comte, Velluire, L'Île-d'Elle
- Charente-Maritime
