The Hatchie River is a 238-mile-long (383 km) river in northern Mississippi and southwestern Tennessee. It is of considerable geographic, cultural, and historic significance.

Its environs are indicative of what much of West Tennessee must have resembled prior to the time of European settlement in early 19th century.
