This is a list of rivers in Egypt.

Nile

There is only one year-round river in Egypt, the Nile. It has no non-seasonal tributaries for its entire length in Egypt, though it has two further upstream, the Blue Nile and White Nile, which merge in central Sudan.

In the Nile Delta, the river splits into a number of distributaries and lesser channels. In ancient times there were seven distributaries, of which only two are extant

the Sebennyticana,
the Bolbitinicanadia,
the Canopicias (extant; now the Rosettasa or Rashida).

The Nile is intersected by a number of normally dry tributaries or wadis which traverse the Eastern Desert. The wadis drain run-off rainfall from the mountains along the Egyptian Red Sea coast, though it only rarely reaches the main trunk of the wadis to flow downstream to the Nile. The three principal wadis are:

Wadi Abbad (drainage area 7,000 km²)
Wadi Shait (length 200 km, drainage area 10,000 km²)
Wadi El-Kharit (length 260 km, drainage area 23,000 km²)

Sinai

Sinai haspe Mukattab]] ("The Valley of Writing") and the Wadi Feiran (associated with the biblical Rephidim).
