The Rhymney River (Welsh: Rhymni) is a river in the Rhymney Valley, south-east Wales, flowing into the Severn estuary.
The river forms the border between the traditional counties of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire.
Path of the river
The river runs south, through (in order):
- Rhymney
- New Tredegar
- Bargoed
- Ystrad Mynach
- To the north of Caerphilly, the river arcs east to avoid Caerphilly mountain
- Bedwas

History
Being part of the South Wales coal and iron producing area, the river had poor water quality through most of the twentieth century. Since that time, the water has become a lot cleaner.
