The Central Yakutian Lowland[1] or the Central Yakutian Lowlands (Russian: Центральноякутская равнина, romanized: Tsentralnoyakutskaya ravnina; Yakut: Саха сирин ортоку намтала),[2] also known as the Central Yakut Plain[3] or the Vilyuy Lowland,[4] is a low alluvial plain in Siberia, Russia.
Administratively the territory of the lowland is part of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). It is an extensive plain located in the transition zone between Central and Eastern Siberia and is one of the Great Russian Regions. The main city is Yakutsk, with a number of settlements near it, but the area of the lowland is largely uninhabited elsewhere.[5]
