The Hwang River (Korean: 황강) is a tributary of the Nakdong River, flowing through South Gyeongsang Province in southeastern South Korea.

It originates in Geochang, from the union of various streams flowing from the slopes of Deogyusan, and meets the Nakdong in Hapcheon County.

The name literally means "yellow," and refers to the yellow sand found along much of the river's course.

Due to its relatively unpolluted waters and abundant fish, the Hwang is home to a population of endangered European otters.
