The Wieda is a river in the German states of Lower Saxony and Thuringia.

The Wieda has its source above the village of Wieda, flows through the village of Walkenried, the hamlet of Wiedigshof  [ de ] and the village of Gudersleben  [ de; nl ] before discharging in the Harz river Zorge near Woffleben  [ de; nl ], a district of Ellrich. Its channel regularly dries up in the summer months - it sinks into the karst soil and reappears in other places as springs. Its most important tributary is the Uffe.
