The Rezovo (also Rezovska reka, Rezvaya and Rezve; Bulgarian: Резовска река [ˈrɛzofskɐ rɛˈka]; Turkish: Mutludere [mutˈludeɾe]) is a river in the extreme southeast of Bulgaria and northernmost part of European Turkey. Its length is 112 km, of which the uppermost 23 km are in Turkey and 89 km form the Bulgaria–Turkey border.
The name Rezovo is thought to have originated from the mythical king of Thrace Rhesus.
