The Lumbardhi i Prizrenit, or Prizren Bistrica (Albanian: Bistrica e Prizrenit; Serbian: Призренска Бистрица, romanizedPrizrenska Bistrica)[1] is a river in Kosovo. It flows through Prizren, the second most populous city in Kosovo, and empties into the White Drin river. It is 18 km (11 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 158 km2 (61 sq mi). It stems from the Sharr Mountains.

The most important tributaries of Prizren's Lumbardh are Shartica, Petroshnica, Drajçica, Lubinja, Jabllanica and Lumi i Manastirit.

The fast-flowing river water passes under Prizren's many bridges as it travels through the city.[2]
