The Panjnad River (Punjabi and Urdu: پنجند) is a river at the extreme end of the Bahawalpur district in the Punjab province of Pakistan. The name Panjnad is derived from Sanskrit words pancha ("five") and nadī́ ("river") which means "five rivers". The Panjnad River is formed by the successive confluence or merger of the five rivers of Punjab: the Jhelum River, the Chenab River, the Ravi River, the Beas River and the Sutlej River.

The Jhelum and the Ravi rivers join the Chenab River; the Beas River joins the Sutlej River; and the Sutlej and the Chenab rivers join to form the Panjnad River. It is 10 miles north of Uch Sharif in the Muzaffar Garh district. The combined stream runs southwest for approximately 44 miles and joins the Indus River at Mithankot. The Indus River continues and then drains into the Arabian Sea. A barrage on Panjnad has been erected which provides irrigation channels for Punjab and Sindh provinces south of the Sutlej River and east of the Indus River.

Beyond the confluence of the Indus and Panjnad rivers, the Indus River was known as Satnad (Sat = seven) carrying the waters of seven rivers including the Indus River, the five Punjab rivers, and the Kabul River.

Panjnad Canal is a man-made irrigation canal in Punjab, Pakistan, built between 1925 and 1932 under British rule. It originates from the Panjnad Headworks, located near Uch Sharif, where the five rivers of Punjab Jehlum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej converge. It supplies water to Bahawalpur District and Rahim Yar Khan District, supporting agriculture, fisheries, and domestic use. Despite challenges like siltation and water shortages, it remains vital for irrigation and economic growth in the region. The canal plays a crucial role in supplying water to the agricultural lands of South Punjab.
