Hunza River () is the main river flowing across the Hunza Valley in the Pakistan-administered territory of Gilgit-Baltistan. It is formed by the confluence of the Chapursan and Khunjerab nalas (streams) which are fed by glaciers. It drains into the Gilgit River, which in turn flows into the Indus River.

The river cuts through the Karakoram Range, flowing from north to south. The Karakoram Highway (N-35) runs along the Hunza River Valley, switching to the Khunjerab River Valley at the point of confluence, eventually reaching the Khunjerab Pass at the border with China at Xinjiang.
Hydrology
The catchment area of Hunza River is while its mean annual discharge is . It is a major tributary of Gilgit River.
The Attabad landslide disaster in January 2010 completely blocked the Hunza River. The blocked river created a lake — called the Attabad Lake or Gojal Lake, which extended 30 kilometers and rose to a depth of 400 feet (approximately 122 meters). The landslide completely covered sections of the Karakoram Highway.
