The '''Sinyaya''' ({{langx|ru|Синяя}}, {{langx|be|Сінюха}}, {{langx|lv|Zilupe}}) is a river in [[Verkhnyadzvinsk Raion]] of [[Vitebsk Region]] of [[Belarus]], in [[Zilupe Municipality|Zilupe]], [[Ludza Municipality|Ludza]], and [[Cibla Municipality|Cibla]] municipalities of [[Latvia]], and in [[Sebezhsky District|Sebezhsky]], [[Krasnogorodsky District|Krasnogorodsky]], and [[Ostrovsky District, Pskov Oblast|Ostrovsky District]]s of [[Pskov Oblast]] in [[Russia]], part of the [[Baltic Sea]] basin. It is a left [[tributary]] of the [[Velikaya River]]. It is {{convert|195|km|mi}} long, and the area of its basin {{convert|2040|km2|sqmi}}.<ref name="register"/>

Its source of the Sinyaya is [[Lake Osveya]], Belarus, close to the place where the borders of Belarus, Latvia and Russia meet. After a short stretch it flows along the [[Belarus-Latvia border]], then turns north and makes the [[Latvia-Russia border]]. It further departs from the border into the Latvian side, and flows through the town of [[Zilupe]]. North of Zilupe, it returns to the border. Even further north, the river turns northeast and enters Russia. It flows through the urban-type settlement of [[Krasnogorodsk]] and turns east in the selo of [[Venyavino]]. The mouth of the Sinyaya is in the village of [[Ustye, Ostrov District, Pskov Oblast|Ustye]].
