The Tugur (Russian: Тугур) is a river in the Tuguro-Chumikansky District of Khabarovsk Krai, in the Russian Far East. It is 175 kilometres (109 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 11,900 square kilometres (4,600 sq mi).
The river originates at the confluence of the rivers Assyni (Ассыни) and Konin. It flows into a 30 km wide swampy area before ending in the Tugur Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk.
The Tugur is a good place for fishing, with species such as grayling, lenok, taimen and pike. There is also a great variety of wildlife in its banks, with brown bears, Manchurian wapiti, wolves and otters. Among the birds the golden eagle, osprey, mergansers and geese deserve mention.
