The Steyr (German: [ˈʃtaɪɐ] ) is a river in Upper Austria.[2] Its length is approx. 68 km (42 mi). Its drainage basin is 917 km2 (354 sq mi).[3]

Rising in the Totes Gebirge at Hinterstoder,[2] it flows into the Enns in the town Steyr. There both rivers form a "Y".[4] The city of Steyr uses this "Y" for marketing purposes.
