The Plessur is a river, 33 km (21 mi) long, and a right tributary of the Rhine running through the Swiss canton of Graubünden. Its river is near Arosa in the Plessur Range. It then flows through the Schanfigg valley before emptying into the Rhine at Chur.

Its main tributaries include the Rabiosa, the Welschtobelbach, Sapünerbach and Fondeierbach.
