The Kyuyol-Yuryakh (Russian: Кюёль-Юрях; Yakut: Күөл-үрэх, Küöl-ürex) is a river in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. It has a length of 247 kilometres (153 mi) and a drainage basin area of 2,330 square kilometres (900 sq mi).[1]

The river flows north of the Arctic Circle, across territories of the East Siberian Lowland in Allaikhovsky District. It flows across Soluntakh, the largest lake in the area. There are no settlements along its course.[2][3] The name of the river comes from the Yakut "Kuöl/urekh" (Күөл-үрэх), meaning "lake/river".[4]
