The Begna is a river in Viken and Innlandet counties in Norway. It is formed by the merging of the rivers Otrøelva and Ylja above Lake Vangsmjøsa. It is also the name of the village of Begna located by the river. The Norwegian writer, Mikkjel Fønhus lived much of his life and located most of his novels along the Begna in Innlandet.
The Begna runs from the mountainous area of Filefjell in the southern part of the Jotunheimen range, through the traditional district of Valdres into the lakes Vangsmjøsi, Slidrefjord, Strondafjorden and Aurdalsfjorden, down Begnadalen to Nes in Ådal and Lake Sperillen via the Ådal River and southward to the city of Hønefoss in Viken.
At Hønefoss, the Begna cascaded down 21.5 m at Hønefossen. Begna joins the Randselva river before discharges into Lake Tyrifjorden. The Begna is 213 kilometres long and has a high point of about 1,850 metres . The Begna drains a watershed of 4,875 square kilometres and is the primary river in this watershed.
