TheFilyos River is a river in northern Turkey.
The longest branch of the Filyos is formed nearKarabük by several tributaries. It flows to the west through a deep canyon pastYenice. Just north ofDevrek, it is joined by major branches flowing from the south and southwest, and then flows north past Beycuma andÇaycuma to reach theBlack Sea. The mouth of the river is just east of the modern town ofFilyos, inZonguldak Province.
TheYedigöller National Park lies in the headwaters of the southern branch of the Filyos River.
