The River Dyfi (Welsh: Afon Dyfi; Welsh pronunciation: [ˈdəvi]), also known as the River Dovey (/ˈdʌvi/ DUH-vee), is an approximately 30-mile (48-kilometre) long river in Wales.[1]

Its large estuary forms the boundary between the counties of Gwynedd and Ceredigion, and its lower reaches have historically been considered the border between North Wales and South Wales.[2][3]
