Uda (Russian: Уда́,Chinese: 乌第河) is a river in Khabarovsk Krai, in the Russian Far East. It flows into the Sea of Okhotsk near the small town Chumikan. Length 457 km. It rises south of the eastern Stanovoy Mountains and flows east, receiving tributaries from the Stanovoys. At the east end of the Stanovoys it receives a 'Maya River' (not the other Maya River) from the high country to the northwest and flows about 50 km into Uda Bay at the southwest corner of the Sea of Okhotsk near the Shantar Islands.
From the Treaty of Nerchinsk (1689) to the Treaty of Aigun (1859) its lower course was officially part of the border between Russia and China, although the border was not clearly marked and the area rarely visited. In 1683 there was here an Udsk Ostrog with communications west to the Zeya River and north to the main Maya River and thence to Yakutsk.
