The River Hull is a river in the East Riding of Yorkshire in the north of England.


It has its source in the Yorkshire Wolds. It is navigable from its junction with the Driffield Canal at Struncheon Hill Lock, and it continues via the junctions with the Leven Canal, the Arram Beck and Beverley Beck. It then joins the Humber estuary in the centre of Kingston upon Hull.
