The Beyenchime (Russian: Беенчиме Yakut: Бэйэнчимэ, Beyençime) is a river in Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russia. It is a tributary of the Olenyok with a length of 311 kilometres (193 mi). Its drainage basin area is 4,080 square kilometres (1,580 sq mi).[1][2]

The river flows north of the Arctic Circle across a lonely, desolate area of the Olenyoksky District devoid of settlements.[3] The Beyenchime-Udzha interfluve is an area where diamonds are found.[4]
