The Chechka Bistritsa (Bulgarian: Чечка Бистрица) is a 49 km-long river in southern Bulgaria, a left tributary of the river Mesta. It flows through the historical region of Chech. The river takes its source under the name Pardikonsko dere at an altitude of 1,695 m northeast of the summit of Sveti Petar (1,745 m) in the Dabrash ridge of the western Rhodope Mountains and drains the southwestern slopes of Dabrash. It flows into the Mesta at an altitude of 443 m north of the village of Teplen, less than 2 km from the Bulgaria–Greece border. Its drainage basin covers a territory of 197 km2.
