The Methow River is a tributary of the Columbia River in northern Washington in the United States.

The Methow's watershed is characterized by relatively pristine habitats, as much of the river basin is located in national forests and wildernesses.

Many tributaries drain the large Pasayten Wilderness. An earlier economy based on agriculture is giving way to one based on recreation and tourism.
