The Tone River (利根川, Tone-gawa) is a river in the Kantō region of Japan. It is 322 kilometers (200 mi) in length (the second longest in Japan after the Shinano River ) and has a drainage area of 16,840 square kilometers (6,500 sq mi) (the largest in Japan).

A river may have multiple channels, or anabranches. The length may depend on whether the center or the edge of the river is measured.
