The Cheshmeh Kileh River is located in northern Iran. It flows into the Caspian Sea at Tonekabon city.

Cheshmeh Kiley River.

Its headwaters comprise two forested valleys, Do-Hezar ("Two Rivers") valley and Se-Hezar ("Three Rivers") valley, both on the northern slopes of the Alborz mountain range. The outflows from these valleys have a confluence at a place called Chaldehra or Chaldarreh, about 24 kilometres (15 mi) south of Tonekabon, forming the Cheshmeh Kileh proper.
