The River Bogie (), also known as the Water of Bogie, is a river in north-west Aberdeenshire in the north east of Scotland. It is noted for its brown trout fishing.
Starting with the confluence of the Craig and Corchinan burns near the parish of Auchindoir and Kearn, the River Bogie flows northeast for about 11 miles through Strathbogie to Rhynie and Huntly, immediately after which it joins the River Deveron of which it forms one of the two main tributaries.The New Statistical Account of Scotland (1845), Volume XII - Aberdeen, United Parishes of Auchindoir and Kearn including information about the River Bogie, accessed 29 December 2011
During the 19th century, the Bogie provided the linen bleachfields of Huntly, then a major textile centre, with water. 'Bogieside', the area along the banks of the river, is often referred to in local literature and folksongs, such as Adieu tae BogiesideAdieu tae Bogieside listed in Tobar an Dualchais, accessed 29 December 2011 and Bogie's Bonnie Belle.Bogie's Bonnie Belle listed in Tobar an Dualchais, accessed 29 December 2011
