D河（英文：D River）係美國柯利近省林肯城嘅一條河。雖然話呢條河係林肯城入面嘅一條未改名嘅河，但係唔講都冇人知嘅係，呢條河喺1989年—2006年之間，俾健力士世界紀錄大全列為世界上最短嘅河流[1][2][3][4]。而佢根據健力士世界紀錄大全寫嘅世界上最短嘅河流紀錄話，佢凈係得37米到。
雖然話喺1989年嘅健力士世界紀錄大全寫咗話130m長嘅羅河係世界上最短嘅河流記錄，但諗唔到嘅係喺嗰年就俾D河提報咗，結果D河變成世界上最短嘅河流紀錄[5]。喺2006年嘅健力士世界紀錄大全就唔列世界上最短嘅河流記錄。
名[編輯]
呢條河係因為1940年嘅當地改河名嘅大龍鳳而贏咗先至改成噉嘅名[6]。
敘述[編輯]
呢條河係從爹域斯湖開始，跟住美國101高速嚟行，之後流入太平洋，全長得37米，比國際標準嘅游水池嘅五分之四長度重短。而佢嘅流域範圍凈係限喺林肯城入面，就喺D河國家公園出面嘅101高速附近，嗰度係春天同秋天嗰時辦嘅世界上最大嘅紙夭節所在地[1]。
附近嘅鄉下[編輯]
喺1965年嗰時，林肯城入面嘅爹域斯湖區域先至正式有村落入嚟。而呢條河就俾人改咗包括「出海口」呢啲好多好似噉嘅名，最後重整咗一個好短嘅名出嚟[6]。

Ginther said he determined that the D River flows from a fish control structure at the entrance of the lake west to where a huge driftwood log marks the point of extreme high tide, give or take five feet, and depending on sand elevation. That is 120 feet.

In 1940, the Delake Chamber of Commerce sponsored a nationwide contest to come up with a new, shorter name for the world's shortest river. The winning moniker, 'D,' a perfectly succinct name submitted by Mrs. Johanna Beard of Albany, Ore., was officially accepted by the U.S. Geographic Board of Names.
