The Drenica (Albanian: Drenica; Serbian Cyrillic: Дреница) is a river in Kosovo, a 50 km (31 mi) long left tributary to the Sitnica river.

Originating from two streams in the northern part of Carraleva Mountain, beneath the Breshenc hill (1046 m), the Drenica river takes shape and it originally flows to the north.

It is known as Llapushnik until it reaches Rusinovc village, where it enters the Drenica basin.

Moving northwest of Poklek village, it enters the mountainous region via the Dobrosheve - Grabovc forest glen.

The Drenica belongs to the Black Sea drainage basin, drains an area of 447 km2 (173 sq mi) and it is not navigable.
