The '''Qizilsu''' ({{Langx|tg|Қизилсу}}) or '''Kyzylsu''' ({{langx|ru|Кызылсу}}) is a river that rises on the southern slopes of the [[Vakhsh Range]] in the north-east of [[Tajikistan]]'s [[Khatlon Region]] and runs south-west until joining the [[Panj (river)|Panj]] on the border with [[Afghanistan]]. The river is {{convert|230|km|mi}} long and has a basin area of {{convert|8630|km2|mi2}}.<ref name=bse>[http://bse.sci-lib.com/article067991.html Кызылсу (река в Таджикской ССР)], [[Great Soviet Encyclopedia]]</ref> It merges with the Yakhsu (Akhshu) as a major left tributary south of the town of [[Kulob]]. It irrigates the cotton-growing '''Qizilsu Valley''' between Kulob and Panj in the south-east of [[Khatlon Province]]. It is not the [[Kyzyl-Suu River]] that rises in [[Kyrgyzstan]] and flows through Tajikistan as [[Surkhob]], then [[Vakhsh (river)|Vakhsh]], following a course north-west of Qizilsu.
