The Debed (Armenian: Դեբեդ) or Debeda (Georgian: დებედა) is a river in Armenia and Georgia. It also serves as a natural boundary between Armenia and Georgia at the village Sadakhlo, Georgia. The Debed is 176 km (109 mi) long, and has a 4,080 km2 (1,580 sq mi) drainage basin.

The river originates in Armenia and is formed at the confluence of the Dzoraget and Pambak. It ends in Georgia where it discharges from the left into the Khrami, a tributary of the Kura.[1][2]
