The Coscile is a river in Calabria, southern Italy. In classical antiquity it was known as the Sybaris (Greek: Σύβαρις) and gave its name to the Ancient Greek city. It is the third-largest river in the region in terms of water discharge and extent of its basin after the Crati and Neto. It is the main left tributary of the Crati.
