The Tonalá River is a river of Mexico. It originates in the hilly region south of Nezahualcóyotl Reservoir, near where the borders of Chiapas, Tabasco, and Veracruz meet. It flows north-northwest to empty into the Gulf of Mexico. It forms the border between Tabasco and Veracruz states for most of its length.
