The '''Boesio''' is a river ([[Stream#Intermittent and ephemeral streams|intermittent stream]]) in '''Valcuvia''', a valley in the north of   the [[province of Varese]], [[Lombardy]], [[Italy]]. 
It rises near [[Cuveglio]] and flowing in an east–west direction before entering [[Lake Maggiore]] at [[Laveno-Mombello]].
