The Bani River is the principal tributary of the Niger River in eastern Mali. Its length is about 1100 km. The Bani is formed from the confluence of the Baoulé and Bagoé rivers some 160 km east of Bamako and merges with the Niger near Mopti.

The Bani is navigable in part. It floods each year after annual rains, turning the city of Djenné temporarily into an island.
