The River Brora is an east-flowing river in Sutherland.
It is formed as its headwater streams, the Féith Osdail, Allt Gobhlach and Allt nan Con-uisge, which meet at Dalnessie to become the Brora. The river then flows southeastwards down Strath Brora to Dalreavoch.
The river writhes amongst the mountains; southeast down Strath Brora then it turns briefly northeast then east and then southeastwards once again to pass through the three distinct basins of Loch Brora to enter the Moray Firth on the North Sea at the village of Brora.
The river's one principal tributary is the Black Water which enters on its left bank at Balnacoil. The Black Water is itself fed by the River Skinsdale and the Coirefrois Burn.
