The Evinos ( Greek Εύηνος , also Φιδάρης Fidaris , ancient Greek Εὔηνος Euēnos or ( Λυκόρμας Lykormas ), Latin Evenus ) is a - depending on the source - 92 to 113 km long river in the region of Western Greece . It flows from northeast to southwest through the Aetolia-Akarnania prefecture and flows east of Mesolongi and the lagoons there into the Gulf of Patras, east of the village of Evinochori and near the village of Kryoneri.

The Evinos rises from the Korakas and Tsekouri mountains near the village of Artotina. On its way to the Gulf of Patras, it takes in the larger tributaries Kotsalo, Portiari, Fidakia and Gidomandriti. In the course of the Evinos there are many stone bridges from the Ottoman era, including the Artotiva bridge, which is the largest single-arch stone bridge in western Greece. Other structures of this type are the Dorvitsa Bridge, the Poriari Bridge, the Klepa Bridge and the Meligova Bridge.

From the beginning of the 21st century, water masses of the Evinos are diverted through a tunnel system into the Mornos River . This is done for the purpose of supplying water to the greater Athens area .

The course of the Evinos river is ideal for water sports such as canoe-kayaking and rafting.
