The Tensaw River is a distributary of the Mobile River, approximately 25 mi (56 km) long, in southern Alabama in the United States. It is formed as a bayou of the Mobile approximately 6 mi (10 km) south of the formation of the Mobile by the confluence of the Tombigbee and Alabama rivers. The Tensaw flows alongside the Mobile to the east, with numerous back channels extending off the main channel into Baldwin County. It enters Mobile Bay on the Gulf of Mexico approximately 10 mi (16 km) east of the city of Mobile and the mouth of the Mobile.
