The Anoia (Catalan pronunciation: [əˈnɔjə]) is a river in Catalonia, Spain, a tributary of the Llobregat. Most of its course lies within the comarca of the same name. It has four sources, in the municipalities of Calaf, Sant Martí Sesgueioles, Montmaneu, and Argençola, and these streams join together in Jorba to form the Anoia proper. Major towns along the river include Igualada; Capellades, where it crosses the Pre-Coastal Range; Sant Sadurní d'Anoia; Gelida; and finally Martorell (Baix Llobregat), where it joins the Llobregat from the right.
