The Kabelske is a river in the German states of Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. It is a left tributary of the Reide, and flows through the counties of Nordsachsen and Saalekreis, as well as the eastern part of the borough of Halle (Saale) in southern Saxony-Anhalt.

Its source is a reservoir on the western edge of Leipzig-Halle Airport in the cadastral municipality of Schkeuditz in Nordsachsen. It then flows northwest, passes under the A 9 motorway and the Erfurt–Leipzig/Halle high-speed railway line near Gröbers.

Its waters flow almost entirely on the territory of the eponymous unitary municipality of Kabelsketal with its villages of Beuditz [de], Schwoitsch [de], Benndorf [de] and Naundorf [de], until it reaches the Halle city quarter of Kanena [de], where it empties into the Reide from the left. The Reide, in turn, discharges into the White Elster near Osendorf [de] after another 6.5 km (4.0 mi).
