Tylihul Estuary also called Tylihulskyi lyman (Ukrainian: Тилігульський лиман)[2] or simply Tiligul is a Ramsar listed[3] government protected estuary or liman of the Tylihul River. Located in Odesa Oblast in the south of Ukraine, the estuary includes an ornithological game reserve and the Tylihulskyi Regional Landscape Park situated on the East coast.[4]

The name of the water body originates from the Turkish: Deli Göl, meaning "mad, rabid lake".
