The Dieze is a short river in North Brabant, the Netherlands, tributary of the Meuse (). It is formed by the confluence of the rivers Aa and Dommel in 's-Hertogenbosch. The part of the Dieze in the centre of 's-Hertogenbosch is called Binnendieze, a partly covered network of canals. The Dieze flows into the Meuse near Hedel.
== Dieze and Dommel == Of the two rivers that form the Dieze, the Dommel is the main river, and the Aa is her tributary. It is remarkable that after this confluence, the last 5 km of the 125-km stream bed of the Dommel is named 'Dieze'. This has historic reasons. The name 'Dieze' used to refer to a river running from Oisterwijk to the Meuse. It consisted of the Esschestroom, which now runs for only 7 km from Oisterwijk to Halder; the Dommel from Halder to 's-Hertogenbosch; the Binnendieze and Aa in 's-Hertogenbosch, and the current Dieze. All of this (about 25 km) was known as the Dieze, because the Dommel was considered to be her tributary.
