Perak River is the second longest river in Peninsular Malaysia after Pahang River in Pahang, Malaysia. A number of towns was founded by the river and one of them is the royal town of Kuala Kangsar.

The source of Sungei Perak is in the mountainous Perak-Kelantan-Thailand boarder of the Belum Forest Reserve. The Temenggor Dam has created a large man-made lake at Banding near Grik.
