Biggar Water is a river in Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire, in the Southern Uplands of Scotland.
It forms part of the River Tweed system. It rises, as Biggar Burn, in the north-east of the parish of Biggar, South Lanarkshire and flows about 6+3⁄4 miles (10.9 km) generally south-westerly toward the town of Biggar, where it becomes Biggar Water. It then flows about 5 miles (8.0 km) eastwards before its confluence with the Tweed 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) mile north-east of Drumelzier in Peeblesshire.
