The Kureyka (Russian: Курейка; also Lyuma, Numa) is a major right tributary of the Yenisey in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.

It falls from the Putorana Plateau to the vast taiga plain of Northern Siberia and flows northward passing through a series of elongated lakes, including the Yadun, Anama, and Dyupkun lakes. It is 888 kilometres long. The river drains an area of about 44,700 square kilometres. Its valley forms the northern boundary of the Tunguska Plateau. At the confluence, the Kureyka is more than 1,000 metres wide.
