The Kuranakh-Yuryakh (Russian: Куранах-Юрях or Кураанах-Юрэх; Yakut: Кураанах Үрэх, Kuraanax Ürex) is a river in Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. It is one of the major tributaries of the Omoloy. The river has a length of 203 kilometres (126 mi) —279 km (173 mi) together with the Nyolu— and a drainage basin area of 7,520 square kilometres (2,900 sq mi).
