The Anadyr (Russian: Ана́дырь) is a river in the far northeast Siberia which flows into the Gulf of Anadyr of the Bering Sea and drains much of the interior of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.
Its basin corresponds to the Anadyrsky District of Chukotka.
The Anadyr is 1,150 kilometres (710 mi) long and has a basin of 191,000 square kilometres (74,000 sq mi).
It is frozen from October to late May and has a maximum flow in June with the snowmelt.
It is navigable in small boats for about 570 kilometres (350 mi) to near Markovo.
West of Markovo it is in the Anadyr Highlands (moderate mountains and valleys with a few trees) and east of Markovo it moves into the Anadyr Lowlands (very flat treeless tundra with lakes and bogs).
The drop from Markovo to the sea is less than 100 feet (30 m).
It rises at about 67°N latitude and 171°E longitude in the Anadyr Highlands, near the headwaters of the Maly Anyuy, flows southwest receiving the waters of the rivers

past Ust-Belaya it turns southeast into the Anadyr Lowlands past the Ust-Tanyurer Zakaznik and receives the Tanyurer from the north.
At Lake Krasnoye, it turns east and flows into the Onemen Bay of the Anadyr Estuary.
If the Onemen Bay is considered part of the river, it also receives the Velikaya from the south and the Kanchalan from the north.
Its basin is surrounded by (north) Amguema and Palyavaam, (northwest) Bolshoy Anyuy and the Oloy Kolyma basin, and (southwest) Penzhina.
