The Ledava ({{langx|de|Limbach}}, {{langx|hu|Lendva}}) is a river of Styria, Austria and of {{ill|Goričko|de||hu||sl||sr|Горичко|v=sup}}, Prekmurje, northeastern Slovenia.

The Ledava is the largest river of Goričko and the largest tributary of the Mur in Slovenia.{{cite web|title=The Ledava - The Largest River of Goričko|url=https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=sl&u=http://www.goricko.net/staticpages/index.php%3Fpage%3D20040105095828326&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dledava%2Bgori%25C4%258Dko%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1366%26bih%3D667|accessdate=25 July 2013}} It is {{convert|80.2|km}} in length.{{GeoQuelle|AT-6|DAS}} It originates in Austria as the {{lang|de|Lendva Bach}} and first flows southeast. It enters Slovenia near {{ill|Kugla Hill|de|Stadelberg|zh|施塔德爾貝格山|v=sup}}, the highest peak of Prekmurje ({{convert|418|m|disp=or}}), and flows south as the Ledava. In this part of its course it forms the only gorge in Goričko. In the village of Ropoča, Municipality of Rogašovci, it flows into the {{ill|Ledava Reservoir|de|Ledavsko jezero|sl|Ledavsko jezero|v=sup}}, which distinguishes itself by a variety of bird species, a variety of dragonflies, and the best preserved otter population in Slovenia. The Ledava is the only outflow from the lake. In its lower course the river flows through Murska Sobota and Lendava. It has several (mainly left) tributaries in this part, the largest of them being the Kerka and the longest Kobilje Creek. Finally, it joins the Mur next to the Croatian-Hungarian-Slovenian border near Muraszemenye.
