The Levern Water (Scottish Gaelic: Uisge Labharain) is a small river in East Renfrewshire and Glasgow, Scotland. It rises in the Long Loch and flows generally north and east, past the towns of Neilston and Barrhead, for a total distance of 9 miles (14 km). It empties into the White Cart River.
The Levern Water facilitated the socio-economic growth of parts of East Renfrewshire by providing water power for cotton mills and homes.
