Atrai River (also spelt as Atreyee) () flows in West Bengal in India and northern parts of Bangladesh.

In ancient times the river was called Atreyee and finds a mention in the Mahabharata, one of the two Sanskrit epics of ancient India. It is linked with Jorapani river, Fuleswari river, and Karatoya River. The Atrai originates in Siliguri ward no 40, near Baikanthapur forest of West Bengal and after flowing through Dinajpur District of Bangladesh, it enters India again. It passes through Kumarganj and Balurghat community development blocks in Dakshin Dinajpur district.{{cite web | url =http://ddinajpur.nic.in/River/river.html
