弗利特河(英語:River Fleet),亦稱艦隊河,是倫敦最大的地下河,弗利特街(又譯「艦隊街」)和霍爾本都是得名自這條河。[1] 其源頭是來自漢普斯特德荒野的兩條溪流,這兩條溪流在18世紀蓄水形成漢普斯特德池塘和海格特池塘,艦隊河自倆個池塘開始,綿延4英里(6.4公里),在黑衣修士橋下注入泰晤士河。
艦隊河的名字來自古英語“flēot”(漲潮的水灣) ,[2] 在羅馬不列顛時代,艦隊河還是一條主要地上河流,其河口可能還有世界最古老的潮力磨坊。[3] 盎格魯-撒克遜英格蘭的艦隊河附近有許多水井,13世紀時被稱為“水井河”(River of Wells)。[4] 工業革命時遭到污染,過度用水也使得其流量大為減小,19世紀因為攝政運河的修建而被覆蓋。
