The 'Lusatian Neisse' (; ; ; Sorbian: ''Łužiska Nysa'') is a river in the Czech Republic (54 km) and along the Polish-German border (198 km), in total 252 km long. It is a left tributary of the Oder River, into which it flows near Guben. It originates in the Jizera Mountains near Nová Ves nad Nisou.
In 1945 it became the Polish western border to Germany as a result of World War II (see Oder-Neisse line). Due to this fact it is the most notable of the three rivers called ''Neiße'' (German) or ''Nysa'' (Polish) and therefor is often simply called 'Neisse'.
