The River Leam (pronounced 'LEM') is a river in England. It starts at Hellidon Hill in Northamptonshire and then flows through the countryside of Warwickshire. It passes through the town of Leamington Spa. The River Leam then joins the River Avon, which is a larger river that eventually flows into the River Severn.

Sometimes, you might see the river spelled as River Leame. This is another way to write its name.
