The Yeloguy ({{Langx|ru|Елогуй}}) is a river in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. It is one of the main tributaries of the Yenisey. Its basin marks the eastern limit of the Siberian Uvaly.Елогуй, Great Soviet Encyclopedia in 30 vols. / Ch. ed. A.M. Prokhorov - 3rd ed. - M, 1969-1978.
The Yeloguy is {{convert|464|km|mi}} long, and the area of its basin is {{convert|25100|km2|mi2}}.[http://textual.ru/gvr/index.php?card=217120 Russian State Water Register - Yeloguy] The lower reaches of the river are navigable downstream from Kellog. The Yeloguy was one of the places where Ket singer Alexander Kotusov found inspiration for his songs.[https://www.sibreal.org/a/29845240.html Песни последнего кета] {{in lang|ru}}[https://trv-science.ru/2019/09/10/poslednij-bard-poslednego-naroda/ Последний бард последнего народа — Троицкий вариант — Наука] {{in lang|ru}}[https://nazaccent.ru/content/28552-poslednie-pesni.html Последние песни] {{in lang|ru}}[http://siberian-lang.srcc.msu.ru/ru/text/alla-pugacheva-m-kotusov Алла Пугачёва.

Course
The Yeloguy has its source in the West Siberian Plain. It forms at the confluence of two short rivers, the Levy Yeloguy and the Pravy Yeloguy, both roughly {{convert|20|km|mi}} long. It flows roughly northeastwards across the flatland and in its lower course it meanders in the mostly flat and swampy taiga. About {{convert|30|km|mi}} before the mouth, the Crooked Yeloguy (Krivoy Yeloguy) splits to the right and flows roughly parallel to the main river.
The Yeloguy joins the left bank of the Yenisey forming a many-branched delta near Verkhne Imbatskoye (Verkhneimbatsk) village, located on the facing bank of the Yenisey.[http://my.krskstate.ru/docs/villages/poselok-Yeloguy/ Поселок Бахта] {{in lang|ru}}
The confluence is located roughly halfway between the mouths of the rivers Sym and Turukhan.Google Earth The river freezes in October and stays frozen until mid-May.
Its main tributaries are the Kellog, Bolshaya Sigovaya and the Tyna.

Protected area
A {{convert|7476|sqkm|abbr=on}} taiga zone of the lower course of the river, including its confluence with the Tyna, was established as the Yeloguy Nature Reserve (Елогуйский Заказник) on 10 March 1987. The protected area is under the Central Siberia Nature Reserve.[http://oopt.info/index.php?oopt=389 Yeloguy Nature Reserve] {{in lang|ru}}
