The Nuora (; ) is a river in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia, a right tributary of the Tumara, of the Aldan basin, part of the Lena basin. It has a length of and a drainage basin area of .
The Nuora flows across an area of the Kobyaysky District that is wholly mountainous and desolate. Segyan-Kyuyol village, the closest inhabited place, lies to the south of its confluence with the Tumara. The river is a destination for rafting. The name of the river comes from the Yakut language. ==Course== The Nuora is a mountain river that originates south of the Arctic Circle near the Arkachan Plateau, central part of the southern Verkhoyansk Range. In the uppermost stretch of its course the river flows southwards. As it meets the Kelter Range, it bends roughly southeastwards, flowing below the northeastern slopes of the range within a deep valley. Finally the Nuora meets the right bank of the Tumara River, a little upstream from where it cuts southwards across the Kelter Range, from its mouth in the Aldan.
