The Alazeya River (Template:Lang-ru) is a river in the northeastern part of Yakutia, Russia which flows into the Arctic between the basins of the larger Indigirka River to the west and the Kolyma River to the east. The length of the river is 1,590 km. The area of its basin is 64,700 km², It crosses through the tundra and is full of lakes and marshes.
The Alazeya is formed by the confluence of the Nelkan and Kadylchan Rivers and drains into the Kolyma Bay of the East Siberian Sea, close to Logashkino. It freezes up in late September - early October and stays icebound until late May - early June. The biggest tributary of the Alazeya is the Rossokha River.
There are more than 24,000 lakes in the basin of the Alazeya River.
Zyryan was the first Russian to reach it (1643), but did not found a permanent settlement.
