The Uecker (named Ucker in Brandenburg) is a river in northeastern Germany (Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). Its source is in the Uckermark district, near the village Temmen. It flows north through a series of small lakes, and through the towns Prenzlau, Pasewalk, Torgelow, Eggesin and Ueckermünde. Near Ueckermünde, the Uecker flows into the Szczecin Lagoon, which is connected with the Baltic Sea through the three straits Peenestrom, Świna and Dziwna.

The Uecker gave its name to the two districts Uckermark and Uecker-Randow.
