The Uzh (Ukrainian: Уж) is a river, a right tributary of the Pripyat, which empties into the Kyiv Reservoir, in central Ukraine. It takes its source in the Zhytomyr Oblast (province) of northern Ukraine, and then flows briefly near the delta of the Berezina. The Uzh then flows near the city of Chernobyl of Kyiv Oblast, into the Pripyat.
