The Śmiała Wisła (Polish pronunciation: [ˈɕmjawa ˈviswa]) is a distributary river branch of the Vistula in northern Poland that flows to the Gdańsk Bay.

The Śmiała Wisła is a western border of Sobieszewo Island and was created during the 1840 flooding when it became a new mouth of the Vistula. Literally it means Daring Vistula.
