The Sluch or Southern Sluch (Ukrainian: Случ; Russian: Случь, Южная Случь; Polish: Słucz; Czech: Sluč, Jižní Sluč) is a river in Ukraine. It is a right tributary of the Horyn. It has a length of 451 kilometres (280 mi) and a drainage basin of 13,800 square kilometres (5,300 sq mi).[1] The Sluch takes its source in the Ukrainian oblast of Khmelnytskyi. It then flows through the Zhytomyr and Rivne oblasts, and briefly along the Ukrainian-Belarusian border before finally emptying into the Horyn.[2][3][1][4]

Cities and towns located on the Sluch river include: Zviahel, Berezne, and Sarny.
