The River Ayr (Uisge Àir in Gaelic), in what was the old county of Ayrshire of Scotland, is approximately 65 kilometres in length. It originates at Glenbuck Loch in East Ayrshire on the border of Lanarkshire and winds its way through East and South Ayrshire to the town of Ayr, where it empties into the Firth of Clyde of the Atlantic Ocean. On its way, the river passes through the villages of Muirkirk, Sorn, Catrine, Failford Stair and Annbank.

Principal tributaries include the Greenock Water, Lugar Water, Water of Fail and Water of Coyle.
