The Anglin (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ɡlɛ̃]) is a 91.3 km (56.7 mi) long river in the Creuse, Indre and Vienne departments in central France. Its source is near Azerables. It flows generally northwest. It is a right tributary of the Gartempe, into which it flows near Angles-sur-l'Anglin.

Its main tributaries are the Salleron, the Abloux and the Benaize.
