The Xi River (Chinese: 西江, pinyin: Xī Jiāng, Postal map spelling: Si Kiang, lit. "West River") is the western tributary of the Pearl River in southern China.

The Xi River begins as it enters Yunnan Province from the autonomous region of eastern Guangxi. It then flows east through Guangdong, and then enters the Pearl River Delta. The other two main tributaries of Pearl River are the Dongjiang River and Beijiang River. Many parts of the Xi River are navigable. The Xi River is a commercial waterway of southern China, and links the delta cities to the interior. It is the largest of the tributaries, being 2,197 km, and its volume of flow is second only to that of the Yangtze River. Other transliterations include Hsi River and Hsi Chiang. It supplies water to many places in Guangxi, Guangdong and Macau.

Another Xi is a minor tributary of the Jiulong River northwest of Xiamen.
