The Kureyka (Russian: Курейка; also Lyuma, Numa) is a major right tributary of the YeniseyinKrasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.

It falls from the Putorana Plateau to the vast taiga plain of Northern Siberia and flows northward passing through a series of elongated lakes, including the Yadun, Anama, and Dyupkun lakes. It is 888 kilometres (552 mi) long.[1] The river drains an area of about 44,700 square kilometres (17,300 sq mi).[2] Its valley forms the northern boundary of the Tunguska Plateau.[3] At the confluence, the Kureyka is more than 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) wide.

The Kureyka basin is very sparsely populated. The village of Kureyka used to have a museum dedicated to Joseph Stalin, who was exiled there in 1914–17.[4] The Kureyskaya Hydroelectric Station was built in 1975–2002. It is served by the people from Svetlogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai [ru], a townlet sitting just above the Kureyka Reservoir. Plans for another power station somewhere downstream are under consideration.
