The Malaya Kuonamka (Russian: Малая Куонамка; Yakut: Кыра Куонамка, Kıra Kuonamka) is a river in Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russia. It is a right tributary of the Anabar with a length of 457 kilometres (284 mi). Its drainage basin area is 24,800 square kilometres (9,600 sq mi).[1]

The river flows north of the Arctic Circle, in the northern limits of the Central Siberian Plateau and the North Siberian Lowland. The area is very cold and desolate, devoid of settlements.[2]

The Kuonamka Formation is a Cambrian large igneous province in the northeastern Siberian platform.[3]
