The Weida (German: [ˈvaɪdaː] ^ⓘ) is a non-navigable river in eastern Thuringia, Germany,^[1] left tributary of the White Elster. Most of its course is situated in the district of Greiz.

The Weida's source is near Pausa in Saxony; it then flows through the Thuringian Highland passing Zeulenroda-Triebes and through the eponymous Weida. It then feeds into the White Elster near Wünschendorf/Elster. Its tributaries include the Auma and the Leuba.
