The Kyuyutingde ()Note: Spellings "Кютюнгдэ" and "Кютингде" are likely erroneous is a river in Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russia. It is a tributary of the Olenyok with a length of — including the Debengde at its head— and a drainage basin area of . It flows north of the Arctic Circle across a desolate area of Bulunsky District devoid of settlements and joins the Olenyok in its final major bend, where it begins to head northwards until the Laptev Sea.

The river gives its name to the Kyuyutingde Formation, a dolomite geological formation in the Olenyok Uplift.L.J. Salop. Precambrian of the Northern Hemisphere, p. 190

Course The Kyuyutingde is a right tributary of the Olenyok. Its sources are at the southern end of the Kystyk Plateau at the confluence of the long Debengde and the long Sygynakhtaakh. It flows first in a roughly southeastern direction, then it bends southwestwards for a short stretch and bends finally westwards, heading in that direction until the Olenyok floodplain, where it enters a low, marshy area with many small lakes to the north. It meanders strongly until it joins the great river upstream of its mouth.nature.ykt.ruGoogle Earth

Owing to the harshness of the climate the river is frozen between early October and early June. Its longest tributaries are the long Kharyalaakh from the right, as well as the long Bulbarangda from the left.
