Balka Orlova (Ukrainian: Балка Орлова) is a river in Kirovohrad Oblast, Ukraine. It is a tributary of the Beshka.
The name of the river comes from the village of the same name founded by a Zaporozhian Cossack nicknamed Orel, which existed here at the beginning of the XVIII century, and in 1958, was annexed to Petrove. Now the entire valley of this river is called Orlova Balka. (lit. Orel's gorge).

It begins near the southwestern outskirts of Znamianka, flows to the southeast through the villages of Petrove, Novooleksandrivka, and Troyanka, and flows into the Beshka within the village of Svitlopil.
