The Rawa is a 19.6 km long river in Poland with a catchment area of 89.8 km².
The river has its source in the Marcin Pond in Ruda Śląska and flows through the towns of Świętochłowice (Schwientochlowitz), Chorzów (Königshütte), Katowice (Kattowitz) and Sosnowiec (Sosnowitz) and flows into the Brynica River (850 m before its confluence with the Przemsa) ).
Due to heavy industrial pollution and the associated stench, large parts of the river course were diverted into underground canals in the 1970s and 1980s.
The Rawa belongs to the catchment area of the Vistula .
