River Divie (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Divie) is a river in Moray, Scotland that originates from the River Findhorn,[1] and flows up to the Moray boundary close to the Lùb Ghlas (shieling) where it forms into Allt Dearg.

The River Divie passes through the Divie Viaduct, a notable landmark despite the river's relative obscurity, and then it flows southeast into Dava Moor passing Glenmore (presumably used to be a cottage or a farm).

The river features two fords before the end of the river and several footbridges at the start of it.[2]

At its end, a very small unnamed stream contributes to the formation of Allt Dearg.
