Zlatna Panega (Golden Panega translated to English) is a river in central northern Bulgaria, originating from a karst source at the village of Zlatna Panega, Yablanitsa municipality, Lovech Province.

Its source is the largest Karst source in Bulgaria and the water temperature is relatively constant throughout the year. Although the Zlatna Panega is only several dozen kilometers in length, it runs through the villages of Zlatna Panega, Rumyantsevo, Petrevene, and the town of Lukovit before emptying into Iskar River.

It is also very popular among the fishing community, as it is a great place to fish brown trout (with specimens over 1.5 kilograms), rainbow trout (some over 4 kilograms), and chub.
