The Haina River is a waterway situated in the Dominican Republic. It flows along the eastern boundary of the hydrographic district encompassing Azua, Baní, and San Cristóbal.[1]

In 1496, according to Floyd, "Miguel Diaz and Francisco de Garay, working their way down the Haina river, discovered rich deposits of gold in the river sands perhaps twenty-five miles from the coast." Bartolome Colon built a fort along this river, "well situated within the gold region", which he named San Cristobal.[2]
