The Eastern Khandyga (Russian: Восточная Хандыга; Yakut: Илиҥҥи Хаандыга, romanized: İliññi Xândıga) is a river in Tompo District, Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russian Federation, a right tributary of the Aldan, part of the Lena basin.

The nearest relatively larger inhabited place in the area is Khandyga, to the north of the river's mouth.

After the river exits the mountain area it enters a wide floodplain, dividing into many channels and flowing roughly southwestwards.

[5] Fossils of ammonites of the genus Otoceras were found in the Induan (Early Triassic) desosits in the upper reaches of this river.

[8] The slopes of the ranges in the upper reaches of the river provide a habitat for the Siberian Apollo butterfly, endemic to the mountains of the Yana — Kolyma watershed.
