Hornád (Slovak, pronounced [ˈɦornaːt]) or Hernád (Hungarian, pronounced [ˈhɛrnaːd]) is a river in eastern Slovakia and north-eastern Hungary.

It is a tributary to the river Slaná (Sajo). The source of the Hornád is the eastern slopes of Kráľova hoľa hill, southwest of Vikartovce.[1]

The river is 286 km long, with 178 km located in Slovakia, and the remaining 108 km in Hungary.[2]

Cities along its course are Spišská Nová Ves and Košice, both in Slovakia. It flows into the river Sajó (Slovak Slaná) southeast of Miskolc.[1]

Along the river are a series of 6 separate limestone rocky cliffs and steep slopes, which collectively make up the Site of Community Importance 'Hornádske vápence'.[3]
