Lielupe (literally in Latvian great river; in German Kurländische Aa or Kurische Aa, (see Aa River)) is a river in Latvia.
Its length is 119 km, along with Mēmele - 310 km. The surface area of its basin is 17,600 km2.
Lielupe begins at the joining point of the rivers Mēmele and Mūsa. At its lower end it flows parallelly to the coast line of the Gulf of Riga (the city of Jūrmala stretches for almost 30 km between the river and the sea), eventually flowing into it, while a branch of it flows into the River Daugava.
Lielupe is navigable in the range of 100 km.et:Lielupe lv:Lielupe
