The Ruhwa River (or Lua, Luha, Luhwa, Luwa, Ruwa) is a river in southwestern Rwanda that is a left-hand tributary of the Ruzizi River.

It joins the Ruzizi, which forms the boundary between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, about {{convert|2|km}} below the point where the Rubyiro River enters the Ruzizi. The Ruhwa forms the boundary between the western regions of Rwanda and Burundi.{{sfn|Rusizi Administrative Map}}
