The '''Vychegda''' ({{Langx|ru|Вычегда}}; {{Langx|kv|Эжва|Ežva}}) is a river in the European part of [[Russia]], a [[tributary]] of the [[Northern Dvina]]. Its length is about {{convert|1,100|km|mi}}. Its source is approximately {{convert|310|km|mi}} west of the northern [[Ural Mountains]]. It flows roughly in a western direction, through the [[Komi Republic]] and [[Arkhangelsk Oblast]]. The largest city along the Vychegda is [[Syktyvkar]], the capital of the Komi Republic. The [[Viled (river)|Viled]], the [[Yarenga]], and the [[Vym (river)|Vym]] are among its main tributaries. The Vychegda flows into the Northern Dvina in [[Kotlas]] (Arkhangelsk Oblast).

The river basin of the Vychegda comprises vast areas in Arkhangelsk Oblast and in the Komi Republic, as well as less extended areas in [[Kirov Oblast]] and [[Perm Krai]].

About {{convert|800|km|mi}} of the Vychegda is navigable. In 1822 the Vychegda was connected to the river [[Kama (river)|Kama]], a tributary of the river [[Volga]], by the [[Northern Catherine Canal]], which, however, has been disused since 1838. In summer, there is regular passenger navigation connecting Kotlas and [[Soyga]] (located approximately halfway between Solvychegodsk and [[Yarensk]]).
