Valdayka (Russian: Валдайка) is a river in Novgorod Oblast and Tver Oblast of Russia, in the Valdai Hills. It belongs to Msta River basin. Valdayka starts from Uzhin Lake near the town of Valday and flows north-east into Piros Lake. It flows through a number of lakes 3–4 km long and 300–400 m wide, in particular, Zakidovskoe Lake, Plotichno Lake. The Moscow–Saint Petersburg Railway crosses Valdayka near the village of Lykoshino. As Berezayka River flows through the Piros Lake, Valdayka is considered its tributary.
As many rivers in the Valdai Hills, it is a popular rafting route.
