The Uzh (Ukrainian: Уж) is a river in Ukraine, serving as a right tributary of the Pripyat, which flows into the Kyiv Reservoir, in central Ukraine. It originates in the Zhytomyr Oblast (province) of northern Ukraine, and then flows briefly near the delta of the Berezina River. The Uzh then flows near the city of Chernobyl of Kyiv Oblast, before emptying into the Pripyat River.
