The Volp is a 40-kilometre-long (25 mi) river of southwestern France. It is a right tributary of the Garonne, which it joins upstream of Cazères, Haute-Garonne.[1] A flood in 1993 ruined a marginal amount of cropland.

In 1912 ice-age cave paintings were discovered in a cave along the length of the Volp. See Trois Frères.

Notable places along the river include:
