The Biber is an approximately 15-kilometer-long left tributary of the Alp in the Schwyz Alps in the Swiss cantons of Schwyz and Zug.

It rises east of Rothenthurm . At the height of Rothenturm and the First Altmatt it is largely canalized . Then it passes the Ägeririet and forms many small meanders as well as the canton border between Zug and Schwyz. At the Third Altmatt, she takes the Chlausenbach on the right and goes through a forest. As far as Ängiried, the Biber is a border river between the aforementioned cantons. It passes Schwyzerbrugg and flows into the Alp at Biberbrugg .
