The Alakit ({{langx|ru|Алакит}}) is a river in Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russia. It is a tributary of the Olenyok with a length of {{convert|232|km|mi}} and a drainage basin area of {{convert|11800|km2|mi2}}.{{GVR|234966|Река Алакит}}

The river flows across a lonely, desolate area of Mirninsky and Olenyoksky districts. Currently there are no settlements, but a small village named Alakit was located by the river in its upper course, a little upstream of the mouth of the Yuyose-Delingde, a left tributary.Google Earth
