The Lesse is an Ardennes river in Belgium, a tributary on the right bank of the Meuse.
The length of its course is 89 km. Its source is in Ochamps, in the commune of Libin, west of Libramont, in the province of Luxembourg. The Lesse generally flows in a northwesterly direction.

Penetrating the limestone region of Calestienne near Han-sur-Lesse (commune of Rochefort), the river rushes underground at the Gouffre de Belvaux and digs the caves of Han. The course of the Lesse from its source to the Gouffre de Belvaux corresponds to the Haute-Lesse.

Several caves bordering the river are important archaeological sites - including the Trou de Chaleux (at the Cirque de Chaleux and its needles), and the Trou des Nutons and the Trou du Frontal at Furfooz. The river flows into the Meuse at the village of Anseremme, in the commune of Dinant. The best known villages along the Lesse are Daverdisse, Han-sur-Lesse, Houyet and Anseremme.
