The '''Kotorosl''' ({{langx|ru|Ко́торосль}}) is a right [[tributary]] of the [[Volga]] in [[Yaroslavl Oblast]], [[Russia]]. The river flows from [[Lake Nero]] near [[Rostov, Yaroslavl Oblast|Rostov]] past [[Karabikha]] and enters the Volga in [[Yaroslavl]]. It is {{convert|132|km}} long, and has a [[drainage basin]] of {{convert|6370|km2}}.<ref name=gvr>[http://textual.ru/gvr/index.php?card=175998 «Река Которосль (Которость, Котороть, Векса)»], Russian State Water Registry</ref> 

In the medieval ages, the river was highly important strategically, for it connected Rostov with major waterways of Russia. The Kotorosl's main tributary is the [[Ustye (river)|Ustye]], which flows past [[Semibratovo]] to [[Borisoglebsky, Yaroslavl Oblast|Borisogleb]], discharging into the Ustye from the left.{{cn|date=July 2020}}
