The Takase River (高瀬川, Takase-gawa) is a canal in Kyoto, Japan.

It rises from Nijō-Kiyamachi, going along Kiyamachi Street, and meets the Uji River at Fushimi port.

It was dug by Suminokura Ryōi in 1611, during the Edo period, to transport various goods and resources in the center of Kyoto.

It made a great contribution to the development of the city and economic growth at that time.
