The Vishteritsa () is a 24 km-long river in southern Bulgaria, a right tributary of the Kanina, itself a left tributary of the river Mesta of the Aegean Sea drainage.
The river takes its source at an altitude of 1,586 m at 1.7 km northwest of the summit of Karakaia (1,761 m) in the Dabrash ridge of the western Rhodope Mountains. It flows in direction south-southeast in a relatively shallow and heavily forested valley. It flows into the Kanina at an altitude of 1,151 m in the Gatera locality. Its discharge at the confluence is almost as large as that of the Kanina. It drains the northwestern slopes of the Dabrash.
