The Gur (Russian: Гур) is a river in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia. It is the 9th longest tributary of the Amur, with a length of 349 kilometres (217 mi)[1] and a drainage basin area of 11,800 square kilometres (4,600 sq mi).[2][1] The river was known as "Khungari" (Хунгари) until the 1972 Renaming of geographical sites in the Russian Far East.[3] The town of Gurskoe, as well as the villages of Kenai, Uktur and Snezhny are located by the river. Gold mining is being developed in the river basin.[1]

The Gur Swamps (Russian: Гурское болото) are an important wetland area located on the right bank of the river in the Nanaysky District.[4]
