Sunja is a river in central Croatia, a right tributary of Sava. It is 69 kilometres (43 mi) long and its basin covers an area of 462 square kilometres (178 sq mi).[1]

Sunja rises in the mountainous forested areas of

the eponymous village of Sunja and continues through Lonjsko Polje until it merges into the Sava east of Krapje
.

It's been suggested that the names "Sava", "Sunja" and "Sutla" are related, but this is uncertain.
