The Popovska reka (Bulgarian: Поповска река) is a river in southern Bulgaria, a left tributary of the river Tundzha of the Maritsa drainage, with a length of 72 km.

The river takes its source under the name Vodenska reka at an altitude of 482 m in the eastern part of the Dervent Heights, just north of the Bulgaria–Turkey border. In its upper course until the village of Voden it flows in a narrow forested valley, initially westwards and then northwards. Downstream of the village the river turns northwest. Its valley remains narrow but generally deforested until the town of Bolyarovo. After Bolyarovo the valley widens, the river makes meanders and changes direction several times — northeast after the town, northwest at Dabovo and southwest downstream of Popovo. The Popovska reka enters the Elhovo Field after the village of Dobrich. It flows into the Tundzha at an altitude of 98 m.

Its drainage basin covers a territory of 533 km2.
