The Alma (Ukrainian: Альма; Russian: Альма, Crimean Tatar: Alma) is a small river in Crimea that flows from the Crimean Mountains in a broadly west-north-west direction to the Black Sea. Its mouth lies just south of Pishchane, halfway between Yevpatoria and Sevastopol. Alma is the Crimean Tatar word for an "apple".
