The Tiffin River is a tributary of the Maumee River, approximately 75 mi (121 km) long, in southeastern Michigan and northwestern Ohio in the United States. It drains a primarily rural farming region in the watershed of Lake Erie. The upper reaches of the river in Michigan and in Ohio north of Burlington are sometimes called Bean Creek.

It rises in southeastern Michigan along the Hillsdale-Lenawee county line, approximately 12 mi (19 km) east of Hillsdale. It flows east into Lenawee County, then generally SSW into northwestern Ohio across western Fulton County. At Stryker it turns to the south for its lower 15 mi (24 km), following a highly meandering course and joining the Maumee from the north 2 mi (3 km) west of Defiance.
