The Lavant River ( _sl. Labotnica) is a left tributary of the Drava in the Austrian state of Carinthia. It originates in the small "Lavantsee" at the southern slope of the "Zirbenkogel" mountain in Styria, then turns southeastwards and after 7 miles reaches the border to Carinthia. The river flows through the towns of Bad Sankt Leonhard im Lavanttal, Wolfsberg and Sankt Andrä until it reaches the Drava shortly before it crosses the border to Slovenia.

The name Lavant stems from the Pre-Celtic period, meaning "shining river" in Indo-European.
