The Noord ("North") is a short tidal river in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland.
The Noord starts at the city of Dordrecht where the Beneden Merwede river forks into the Oude Maas and the Noord. It joins the Lek at the city of Ridderkerk and Kinderdijk, and the combined stream is thereafter known as the Nieuwe Maas. The distance is about nine kilometres. The direction of its water flow depends on the tides.
The Noord River separates IJsselmonde island from the Alblasserwaard mainland to the east. There are two connections between them:
- The bridge over the Noord (motor vehicles, cyclists)
- Noord Tunnel (motor vehicles)
