The Gaznata is a river of Spain located in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula, a left-bank tributary of the Alberche. [1]

It springs out of the Fuente del Cuadrón, in the Prado Cuadrón area close to La Cañada  [ es ]. [2] [3] [4] Flowing southwards along a total length of 27.20 km, [5] it empties in the Alberche, specifically into El Burguillo Reservoir, [6] draining a catchment area of 164.20 km2. [5]

The name Gaznata has been proposed to have a Berber origin, tentatively identified as "Wād-al-Zanāta", Zanāta referring to the Zenata berber tribe. [7]
