The Uvac (Serbian Cyrillic: Увац) is a Serbian river, rising under Serbian Golija mountain and Pešter plateau, then flowing through southwestern Serbia and cross into eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina where, after 115 km, it finally meets the Lim river from the right. However, before it empties into the Lim, the Uvac forms the border between the two countries for a 10 kilometers. Also, while meandering through Serbia, the Uvac also loosely makes the northern border of the Raška region.
