The '''Kakva''' ({{lang|ru|Каква}}) is a river in [Sverdlovsk Oblast](/source/Sverdlovsk_Oblast), Russia. It is a right [tributary](/source/tributary) of the [Sosva](/source/Sosva_(river)) (in the [Ob](/source/Ob_(river))'s [drainage basin](/source/drainage_basin)). The river starts by the base of the Kavkinsky Stone on the eastern slopes of the [Ural Mountains](/source/Ural_Mountains) and flows eastwards to its confluence with the Sosva. It is {{convert|170|km}} long, and has a drainage basin of {{convert|1970|km2}}.<ref name=gvr>{{GVR|196868|Река Каква}}</ref>

Along the river lies the town of [Serov](/source/Serov_(town)) and the Kiselyovskoye Reservoir, upon which the small Kiselyovskaya Hydroelectric Plant is located. The reservoir was rebuilt after a catastrophic dam break in 1993, which caused major damage in Serov town.
