The Kama ( UK: /ˈkæmə/ KA-mə, US: /ˈkɑːmə/ KAH-mə; Russian: Кама [ˈkamə]; Udmurt: Кам), also known as the Chulman (/tʃuːlˈmɑːn/ chool-MAHN; Tatar: Чулман [tɕuɫˈmɑn]), is a 1,805-kilometre (1,122 mi) long river in Russia. It has a drainage basin of 507,000 square kilometres (196,000 sq mi). It is the longest left tributary of the Volga and the largest one by discharge. At their confluence, in fact, the Kama is larger in terms of discharge than the Volga.

It starts in the Udmurt Republic, near Kuliga, flowing northwest for 200 kilometres (120 mi), turning northeast near Loyno for another 200 kilometres (120 mi), then turning south and west in Perm Krai, flowing again through the Udmurt Republic and then through the Republic of Tatarstan, where it meets the Volga south of Kazan.
