The White Drin (Albanian: Drini i Bardhë is a river in Republic of Kosovo and northern Albania, a 175-kilometre (109 mi)-long headstream of the Drin.

The Kosovo section of the White Drin flows entirely in the semi-karst Republic part of Kosovo, in an arc-shaped 122-kilometre (76 mi)-long course.[1] The river originates in the southern slopes of the Žljeb mountain, north of the town of Peja. The stream is originally a sinking river which eventually springs out from the strong well and falls down as a 25-metre (82 ft)-high waterfall named the White Drin Waterfall near the village of Radovac.

The White Drin first flows to the east, next to the spa of Pećka Banja, and the villages of Banje, Trbuhovac and Zlakućan, where it receives the Istočka river from the left and turns to the south. The rest of the course is through the very fertile and densely populated central section of Republic of Kosovo(Podrima region), but oddly, there is not even one large settlement on the river itself, despite many smaller villages on the river. The largest cities are kilometers away from the river (Peja, Gjakova, Prizren) whilst some smaller towns (Klina) and large villages (Krusha e Madhe, Gjonaj) are closer to it. The White Drin also creates the small White Drin Canyon in Republic of Kosovo.
