This is a list of the longest rivers on the Earth. The data should be considered as approximate and informative, since it is difficult to precisely measure rivers' lengths and drainage areas, while the discharge varies considerably in time.
| River | Length (km) | Drainage area (km²) | Average discharge at mouth (m³/s) | Source | Outflow | Continent | Countries | |
