The Leda is a river in north-western Germany (Lower Saxony), right tributary of the Ems. It originates at the confluence of the Sagter Ems and the Soeste (Dreyschloot) near the town Barßel. The Leda flows into the Ems near the city Leer. On the southern bank of the Leda, in the Overledinger Land (Overledingen="country over the Leda"), opposite Leer, lies the small settlement Kloster Muhde (Muhde from the Old Frisian mutha meaning "(river) mouth"). The total length of the river is 29 km, of which the lower 1.9 km are navigable for sea-going vessels.
