The Cherendey (Russian: Черендей; Yakut: Чэрэндэй, Çerendey) is a river in Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russia.

Abandoned Cherendey village is located by the left bank of the Lena, close to its confluence.

It has its source in a small lake of the Lena Plateau located at a height of 397 m (1,302 ft).

The river heads in a roughly southeastern direction across a taiga area.

In mid course it bends to the northeast and flows slowly and meandering in a wide, swampy valley.
