List of rivers of the Americas by coastline

This list of rivers of the Americas by coastline includes the major coastal rivers of the Americas arranged by country. A link to a map of rivers with known coordinates is listed at right. The ocean coasts are demarcated as follows: Arctic Ocean coast (including Hudson Bay) from Cape Prince of Wales east to Cape Chidley Atlantic Ocean coast from Cape Chidley south to Cape Virgins Pacific Ocean coast from Cape Prince of Wales south to Cape Virgins Endorheic basin coast (drainage basins not reaching oceans)

This is a counterpart to the primarily alphabetical List of rivers of the Americas and other lists of rivers of countries, although only rivers which reach the ocean are included here, not tributaries.

Arctic Ocean coast

In the Americas, only the United States, Canada, and Greenland have rivers on the Arctic Ocean coast. Greenland is surrounded by the Barents Sea (part of the Arctic Ocean), the Greenland Sea (often described as part of the Arctic Ocean), Baffin Bay to the west (marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean), the Labrador Sea to the south (part of the Arctic Ocean), and directly to the Arctic Ocean to the north. The following is a list of rivers flowing into the Arctic Ocean. The province and country where the mouth is located are included.

The Atlantic Ocean has irregular coasts indented by numerous bays, gulfs and seas. These include the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Caribbean Sea, Davis Strait, Denmark Strait, part of the Drake Passage, Gulf of Mexico, Labrador Sea, Mediterranean Sea, North Sea, Norwegian Sea, almost all of the Scotia Sea, and other tributary water bodies. Including these marginal seas the coast line of the Atlantic measures compared to for the Pacific.
