The Little Miami River ( also called the Little Miami Scenic River ) is a right tributary of the Ohio River, approximately 257 km long.

It flows in the southwestern Ohio ( USA) and meets east of Cincinnati on the Ohio River.

The river is named after the people of Miami, who lived in this area until the beginning of the acquisition of land by white settlers.

The Little Miami River is a National Scenic River.

It rises near the Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve. Many parks and bike paths were built along the river, such as the Little Miami Bike Trail, the Buckeye Trail and the Little Miami State Park and National Scenic River. The currently under construction Ohio to Erie Trail project is the way with other Ohio State combine to form a contiguous bike trail from Lake Erie to the Ohio River.

The river forms the eastern boundary of the Symmes Purchase and the western boundary of the Virginia Military District.
