Ilim River (Template:Lang-ru) is a river in Irkutsk Oblast in Russia, a right tributary of the Angara River. It flows north between and parallel to the Angara and Lena Rivers, and then swings west to join the Angara 40km south of Ust-Ilimsk.
The Ust-Ilimsk Dam on the Angara (downstream from the older, bigger, and better known Bratsk Dam), completed in the mid-1970s, not only backs up the Angara, but also the Ilim as far as Zheleznogorsk-Ilimsky. The site of the old town of Ilimsk was flooded by the reservoir.
The length of the Ilim is 365 miles (589 km). The area of its basin is 30,300 km². The river freezes up in late October and stays icebound until early May. Its main tributaries are the Kochenga, Tuba, and Chora Rivers. See also Siberian River Routes.
