The '''Tekhuri''' ({{lang-ka|ტეხური}}, [[Megrelian]]: ტეხირი ''t'ekhiri'')<ref name = "gn611702">[{{Geonameslink|gnid=611702|name=t'ekhuri}} T'ekhuri] [[Geonames.org]]</ref> is a right [[tributary]] of the river [[Rioni]] in [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]].

The Tekhuri rises in the [[Egrisi Range]] below the 3002 m high summit Tekhurishdudi. It flows through the region [[Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti]] in a predominantly south-south-west direction. In the middle course it flows past the place [[Salkhino]] near [[Martvili]]. Finally it reaches the [[Colchis|Colchian Plain]], flows southeast of the city [[Senaki]] and turns south. Shortly afterwards the [[Abasha (river)|Abasha]] meets the Tekhuri from the left. After another 10&nbsp;km the Tekhuri flows into the Rioni. It is {{convert|101|km|abbr=on}} long, and has a [[drainage basin]] of {{convert|1040|km2|abbr=on}}.<ref>[https://www.geostat.ge/media/35685/Yearbook_2020.pdf Statistical Yearbook of Georgia: 2020], National Statistics Office of Georgia, Tbilisi, 2020, p. 12.</ref>
