Kerzhenets River (Russian: Керженец) is a river in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast in Russia. It is a left tributary of the Volga, joining the Volga near Lyskovo, about 70 km east of Nizhny Novgorod.
There used to be numerous settlements of the Old Believers (called Керженские скиты, or Kerzhenets monasteries) along the Kerzhenets River in the 17th-19th centuries. Their inhabitants were known as kerzhaks (Кержаки).
