The Loing (French pronunciation: ​[lwɛ̃]) is a 143 km (89 mi) long river in central France, a left tributary of the Seine.[1]

Its source is in Sainte-Colombe-sur-Loing, in the south of the Yonne department, and it flows into the Seine in Saint-Mammès, near Moret-sur-Loing. Its main tributaries are the Ouanne, the Aveyron, the Puiseaux, the Solin and the Lunain. The part of the Briare Canal between Rogny-les-Sept-Écluses and Montargis runs parallel to the Loing.
