The River Ness is a short river flowing from Loch Dochfar at the northern end of Loch Ness, through Inverness and into the Moray Firth. The Caledonian Canal follows its course from the loch to the city, but then travels by a different route to the Firth.

The river follows the Great Glen fault, and the northern end of the Great Glen Way follows the river's eastern bank.
