The Sikula River is a river in Ambon Island, Maluku, Indonesia. It primarily flows in the Laha village of Ambon City, and is the longest river within the city's boundaries.[1]

The river's course passes near the Pattimura International Airport, and in 2013 the river's flooding inundated the airport.[2] Pebble is quarried along the river, generating pollution in the water.[3]
