The '''Sirba River''' is a [tributary](/source/tributary) of the [Niger River](/source/Niger_River) in western Africa. The Sirba arises in [Burkina Faso](/source/Burkina_Faso) and flows east, crosses into [Niger](/source/Niger) and then forms a short part of the international border between the two countries. It meets the Niger River at the midway point between the settlements of [Gothèye](/source/Goth%C3%A8ye) and [Karma](/source/Karma%2C_Niger) in Niger, about 50 kilometres upstream from [Niamey](/source/Niamey).

The river is subject to seasonal flooding.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Tangam |first=Idi Souley |last2=Yonaba |first2=Roland |last3=Ibrahim |first3=Boubacar |last4=Adamou |first4=Mahaman Moustapha |last5=Karambiri |first5=Harouna |date=2025-01-01 |title=Hydrological drivers of flooding in Niamey (Niger): the role of the Sirba River |url=https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2515-7620/adaac9 |journal=Environmental Research Communications |volume=7 |issue=1 |pages=015029 |doi=10.1088/2515-7620/adaac9 |issn=2515-7620|doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-07-02 |title=Flood hazard scenarios of the Sirba river (Niger): Evaluation of the hazard thresholds and flooding areas {{!}} PreventionWeb |url=https://www.preventionweb.net/publication/flood-hazard-scenarios-sirba-river-niger-evaluation-hazard-thresholds-and-flooding |access-date=2025-06-30 |website=www.preventionweb.net |language=en}}</ref>
