The Kolyma Bay (Russian: Колымская Губа; Kolymskaya Guba) is one of the main gulfs of the East Siberian Sea.

The bay gets its name from the Kolyma Lowlands, whose coastline forms the whole eastern half of this bay. The Kolyma Lowlands are dotted with numerous lakes and swamps. The sea in this bay is frozen for over nine months every year and is often clogged with ice floes.
