The '''Serpis''' ({{IPA-va|ˈseɾpis}}) is a short coastal river in the [[province of Alicante|provinces of Alicante]] and [[province of Valencia|Valencia]], in [[Spain]].
The river starts at the feet of the Carrasqueta, a mountain area southwest to [[Alcoy (Spain)|Alcoi]], by the confluence of the Polop and Troncal streams. In its initial part the Serpis is intermittent. Near Alcoi it joins with the Barxell, coming from the [[Serra de Mariola]], after which it has a regular course. Other cities it passes through include [[Cocentaina]], [[L'Alqueria d'Asnar]], [[Muro d'Alcoi]], [[Gaianes|Gayanes]] and [[Beniarrés]], where a dam creates an artificial lake; after the latter, the Serpis crosses [[Lorcha/L'Orxa|L'Orxa]], [[Vilallonga]], [[Potries]], [[Beniarjó]], [[Almoines]], [[ El Real de Gandia]] and [[Gandia]], where it flows into the Mediterranean Sea, shortly after receiving the waters of its main affluent, [[Vernisa]] river.
