Rivers in Honduras is a list of the rivers in Honduras, including those it shares with neighbours.

The Pacific Ocean coast also receives other important rivers such as the Choluteca River, which flows through the capital, Tegucigalpa, where it wreaked havoc during the 1998 Hurricane Mitch. La Quebradona is a river located in La Ruidosa, Copán. La Comisión Permanente de Contingencias is the body which gives out alerts when rivers are in danger of overflowing.
