The Smotrych (Ukrainian: Смотрич, Polish: Smotrycz) is a left tributary of the Dniester, flowing through the Podillia upland of western Ukraine. Its length is 168 km (104 mi), and its drainage basin covers 1,800 km (694 mi). The average width of the river is 10–15 meters wide, and at one point exceeds 40 m.
The river is particularly notable for its tall banks, which give it a ravinelike appearance. It is used for water supply, irrigation, and fishing. A small hydroelectric station is situated on it, as well as the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi, the urban-type settlement Smotrych and the town of Horodok (Khmelnytskyi Oblast).
