The Nfiss (Arabic: نفيس, French: Oued N'Fis, also referred to as Wād Nafīs in older literature) is one of the most important tributaries of the Tensift in southwestern Morocco. Its length is approximately 183 km.
== Geography == The Nfiss rises at an elevation of about on the eastern flank of the 3,350 m-high Jbel Tichka in the High Atlas. It initially flows eastward toward the Tizi n'Tichka Pass before turning north and finally emptying into the Tensift approximately 25 km west of Marrakesh.
