The Dobrichka reka is a river in northeastern Bulgaria, a right tributary of the Suha reka. Its length is 70 km.
The Dobrichka reka takes its source from a spring at an altitude of 278 m in the Dobrudzha Plateau, south of the village of Draganovo in eastern part of the Danubian Plain. It flows north until the city of Dobrich, where it forms a large arc protruding to the east. Downstream of Dobrich the river turns northwest, its valley becomes canyon-like, deeply cut in the Aptian and Serravallian limestones of the Dobrudzha Plateau. In that section, especially after the village of Bozhurovo, the river dries up, with water flowing irregularly in spring. The river flows into the Suha reka at an altitude of 87 m, some 2 km southeast of the village of Efreytor Bakalovo.
