The Maly Anyuy ({{langx|ru|Ма́лый Аню́й}}; maly meaning "little") is a river in the Kolyma basin in the Russian Far East. Most of the basin of the Maly Anyuy and its tributaries belongs to the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug administrative region of Russia.

Geography

The Maly Anyuy flows roughly westwards, south and west of the Ilirney Range, making a wide bend by the Chuvanay Range —flowing first northwards and then westwards again at the feet of the Kyrganay Range— in western Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.[https://xn--80aaaa1bhnclcci1cl5c4ep.xn--p1ai/cd1/names_ch.html Чуванайские горы, National atlas of Russia] Just after crossing into the Sakha Republic, it meets the Bolshoy Anyuy, merging with it into a single channel (Anyuy proper) {{convert|8|km|mi}} before meeting the Kolyma close to its delta. Its length is {{convert|738|km|mi}} and its basin surface {{convert|49800|km2|mi2}}.{{GVR|270844|Река Мал.
