The Yarenga (Russian: Яренга) is a river in Ust-Vymsky District of Komi Republic and in Lensky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast in Russia. It is a right tributary of the Vychegda River. The length of the river is 281 kilometres (175 mi). The area of its basin 5,140 square kilometres (1,980 sq mi). The principal tributaries are Vezhay River (left) and Uktym River (right). The Yarenga is the main river of the Lensky District north of the Vychegda and collects virtually all the drain of that area.
The source of the Yarenga is located close to the village of Vezhayka in the Komi Republic. The Yarenga flows to the north-west through primeval pine and larch forests, enters the Arkhangelsk Oblast, and in the village of Yarenga turns south-west. It is noted for its many rapids. In the village of Ust-Ocheya, where it accepts the Ocheya River from the left, it turns south-east. Yarensk is located on the left bank, approximately 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the river course. The Yarenga empties into the Vychegda River about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) downstream from Yarensk.
