Lakavica, or Kriva Lakavica (Macedonian: Лакавица or Крива Лакавица), is a river in the east-central part of the Republic of North Macedonia, in Štip and Konče municipalities.

The Lakavica Valley is very fertile and dotted with many villages and farms.

Kriva Lakavica flows down from the northern slopes of the Gradeska mountain range at an altitude of 570 m, from the village Sofilari, at a height of 251 m. It is 42 km long with a southeastern current, ending south of the village of Dolni Lipovikj.

[1] A 5,730 ha tract of land encompassing the Lakavica River and Lake Mantovo has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports populations of European rollers and masked shrikes.
