The Vidbol () is a river in northwestern Bulgaria, a right tributary of the Danube. Its length is 62 km.

The river takes its source under the name Dzhonovets at an altitude of about 1,000 m, some 300 m northeast of the summit of Babin Nos (1,103 m) in the northwestern part of the Balkan Mountains. It is situated in the western Danubian Plain. The river flows in northeastern direction in a forested valley until the village of Rakovitsa and then continues eastwards to Gara Makresh. In this section the Vidbol takes several of its most significant tributaries. From Gara Makresh the river bends north and runs through a deep canyon-like valley. At the village of Sinagovtsi it turns east, enters the Vidin Plain and flows into the Danube at an altitude of 29 m, some 2 km east of the town of Dunavtsi.
