Wadi Litibah (Arabic: وادي ليتيبة, romanized: Wādī Litibah) is a valley or dry river, with intermittent flow, flowing almost exclusively during the rainy season, located northeast of the United Arab Emirates, in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.

It is a tributary of the Wadi Ghalilah, from its confluence with the Wadi Barut, and is mainly formed by the ravines and torrents which flow downstream north of Jabal Bil Ays / Jebel Jais (1,911 m), divided into two main branches; and by the deep cliffs situated to the west and at the foot of the Jabal as Sayh (1,746 m), on the border between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman.
