The Jylamysh (Kyrgyz: Жыламыш) is a river in Sokuluk District of Chüy Region, northern Kyrgyzstan. It rises on the northern slopes of the Kyrgyz Ala-Too and is diverted for irrigation before reaching the Chüy. It is 28 kilometres (17 mi) long and drains a basin of 186 square kilometres (72 sq mi).

Course and hydrology

In its upper reaches, the river flows rapidly through a narrow gorge. As it emerges from the mountains, its valley widens and the river divides into several channels. Its basin contains three lakes with a combined area of 0.05 square kilometres (5.0 ha). The mean annual discharge is 1.28 cubic metres per second (45 cu ft/s). Water levels begin to rise in May and recede in September.

The river is used for irrigation. The villages of Jylamysh, Belek and Kyzyl-Tuu lie along its banks.
