The Bug or Buh River ( _pl. Bug Audio-IPA-pl|Bog.ogg|b|u|k; _uk. Західний Буг, "Zakhidnyy Buh"; _be. Захо́дні Буг, "Zakhodni Buh"; _ru. Западный Буг, "Zapadnyy Bug"), sometimes called the Western Bug to distinguish it from the Southern Bug, flows from central Ukraine to the west, forming part of the boundary between Ukraine and Poland, passes along the Polish-Belarusian border and into Poland, and empties into the Narew river near Serock (actually to the artificial Zegrze Lake). The part between the lake and the Vistula River is sometimes referred to as Bugo-Narew. The Vistula River drains into the Baltic Sea.

The Bug is 772 km long (587 km in Poland) and is the 4th longest Polish river. The basin area is 39,420 km² (19,284 km² in Poland). It is connected with the Dnieper river by the Dnieper-Bug Canal.

Traditionally the Bug was also often considered the ethnographical border between Orthodox and Catholic peoples. The Bug was the dividing line between German and Russian forces following the invasion of Poland in the Second World War.
