The '''Chulym''' ({{langx|ru|Чулым}}) is a river in the [[endorheic drainage basin]] of [[Lake Chany]] in the southeastern part of the [[West Siberian Plain]] in [[Russia]]. The river is {{convert|392|km|mi}} long, with a [[drainage basin]] of {{convert|17900|km2|mi2}}.<ref name=gvr>{{GVR|194546|Река Чулым}}</ref>
==Course==
The Chulym is formed by several tributaries in the ''Toyskoye Zaymishche'' (Russian: Тойское Займище) and ''Troshinskoye Zaymishche'' (Russian: Трошинское Займище) swamps north of [[Baraba Steppe]], some {{convert|100|km|mi}} northwest of [[Novosibirsk]], at an elevation of {{convert|150|m|ft}}. The river flows over the Baraba Steppe in a southwesterly direction, and flows through the lakes of [[Sargul]] (Russian: Саргуль), {{convert|34.6|km2|mi2}}, and [[Uryum]] (Russian: Урюм), {{convert|84.1|km2|mi2}}, before it finally terminates, at {{convert|106|m|ft}} elevation, in [[Lake Malye Chany]] (Russian: Малые Чаны &ndash; ''Little Chany''), which is connected to [[Lake Chany]] through a short [[strait]].
In its lower reaches the river is some {{convert|30|m|ft}} wide and {{convert|5|m|ft|0}} deep. Its main tributaries are the Suma River (left), and the [[Kargat River]] (right). Lake [[Itkul (Chulym basin)|Itkul]] is one of the largest lakes of the Chulym [[floodplain]].<ref name="STM">{{cite web|url=https://maps.vlasenko.net/smtm1000/n-44.jpg|title=N-44 Topographic Chart (in Russian)|access-date= 28 November 2024}}</ref><ref>[[Google Earth]].</ref>
In its upper course is the town of [[Chulym, Chulymsky District, Novosibirsk Oblast|Chulym]], named after the river. Here the river is crossed by the [[Trans-Siberian Railway]] and the [[Russian route M51|M51 highway]].
The Chulym is frozen over from November to April or May.
