The Byosyuke (Russian: Бёсюке; Yakut: Бөөһүкэ) is a river in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. It is one of the northernmost tributaries of the Lena. The river has a length of 152 kilometres (94 mi) —263 km (163 mi) from the source of the Sakhandya— and a drainage basin area of 5,780 square kilometres (2,230 sq mi).[1]

The river flows north of the Arctic Circle across desolate areas of Bulunsky District. The nearest inhabited place is Kyusyur, located on the banks of the Lena, over 60 km (37 mi) northeast of its mouth.[2] The Byosyuke is a destination for game fishing tours.[3]
