Bindal River (also Bindal Rao) flows through Dehradun in Uttarakhand, India, and is fed by a number of springs at the base of Mussoorie ridge.

Due to unchecked development and encroachment around the river, the river water has been contaminated with hazardous pollutants and chemicals. In 2019, the government of Uttarakhand initiated a plan to revive the water body.
