The Tatta (Russian: Татта; Yakut: Таатта, Taatta) is a river in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia, a left tributary of the Aldan, part of the Lena basin.

The Tatta has a length of 414 kilometres (257 mi) and a drainage basin area of 10,200 square kilometres (3,900 sq mi).[1] There are many inhabited places close to the banks of the Tatta, especially in its upper and middle reaches, including Churapcha and Ytyk-Kyuyol towns, as well as Uolba, Bulun, Dyabyla, Kharbala 1st, Kharbala 2nd, Cherkyokh, Borobul and Tolon villages.[2][3]

Tatta District of the Sakha Republic was named after the river. The R504 Kolyma Highway crosses the Tatta roughly in the middle of its course.[2]
