The Waini River is a river in the Barima-Waini region of northern Guyana. It flows into the Atlantic Ocean near the border with Venezuela. The upper portion of the river flows through the Guianian moist forests, while the lower Waini river flows through the eastern extent of the vast Orinoco Delta swamp forests before emptying into the sea.

Almond Beach at the mouth of the Waini River is one of the most important nesting areas for four of the seven species of marine turtles in the world. It is the only place in Guyana that has a large stretch of intact mangrove forest, brackish water and coastal swamp communities.
