River Divie (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Divie) is a river in Moray, Scotland, that is tributary to the River Findhorn. It begins near the Moray boundary, close to the Lùb Ghlas (shieling), from the junction of an unnamed stream with the Allt Dearg stream.
The River Divie passes through the Divie Viaduct, a notable landmark despite the river's relative obscurity, after flowing northwestward through Dava Moor, passing Glenmore (presumably a former cottage or a farm).
The river features two fords, as well as several footbridges near its end.
