The Konka, also known as the Kinka, Kinska, or Kinski Vody^[a] is a left tributary of the Dnieper, flowing through Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine. It is 146 km (91 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 2,580 km² (1,000 sq mi). It originates in the Azov Upland and flows into the Kakhovka Reservoir on the Dnieper. The cities of Polohy and Orikhiv are located on the river.^[1]

The name is a calque of the Crimean Tatar name of the river Yilki Su, which means "water of wild horses".^[2]
