The Chi River (Thai: แม่น้ำชี) is the longest river in Thailand; it extends 765 km, but carries less water than the second longest river, the Mun.

The river rises in the Phetchabun mountains, then runs east through the central Isan provinces of Chaiyaphum, Khon Kaen and Maha Sarakham, and turns south in Roi Et, running through Yasothon to meet the Mun in Kanthararom district of Sisaket Province. The river carries approximately 9,300 cubic kilometres of water per annum. It is riddled with leeches.
