恆河(梵語:गङ्गा,印地語:गंगा,乌尔都语:گنگا(Ganga)国际音标发音:[ˈɡəŋɡaː] ();坦米爾語:கங்கை,孟加拉語:গঙ্গা Gônga,玄奘譯為殑伽河)是南亚的一条主要河流,流經印度北部及孟加拉国。恒河全长2,525公里,流域面积91万平方公里,达印度国土面积的三分之一,恆河也為世界河水流量前20大的河流之一。 恆河流域為世界上最多人口居住的河流流域,有超过4亿人口生活于此,人口密度達每平方公里390人以上。 恒河干流始于帕吉勒提河和阿勒格嫩达河在德沃普拉耶格的交汇。它横越北印度平原(即恒河平原),流经北方邦,与其最大支流亚穆纳河汇合,再流经比哈尔邦、西孟加拉邦,最后分为多条分流注入孟加拉湾。在西孟加拉邦,恒河南岸的一条人工水道将大约50%的水流引向了加尔各答附近的胡格利河,剩余继续流往孟加拉国的部分被称为博多河。博多河进入孟加拉国后与布拉马普特拉河(中国境内为雅鲁藏布江)下游的贾木纳河汇合,最终注入孟加拉湾,其入海河段称为梅格纳河,并在入海区域形成恒河三角洲。 恒河对生活于其流域中的数百万居民至关重要,他们依赖恒河获取生活必需。 過去许多省會及帝國首都曾設於恆河沿岸,如巴连弗邑、曲女城、瓦拉納西、安拉阿巴德、穆尔斯希达巴德、蒙格埃尔、巴哈拉姆普尔、加爾各答等。恒河中生活着大约140种鱼类,90种两栖动物,以及一些爬行动物和哺乳动物,例如极危物种恒河鳄和恒河豚。 恆河被印度教徒視為聖河,印度教中也有稱為「恒河女神」的神祇。 如今,恒河被,对其流域内的人类与动物的生存造成了严峻威胁。在瓦拉納西河段測得的水中水平超過印度政府所訂標準值100倍以上。 印度政府曾发起「」,但由於貪汙、技術不足、缺乏良好環境計畫、印度傳統信仰及缺乏宗教上的有利支持等因素,至今仍遭受重大挫敗。
