The Kulanotpes (Kazakh: Құланөтпес; Russian: Куланотпес) is a river in the Nura District, Karaganda Region, Kazakhstan.

There are a number of villages near its banks, including Kaynar, Kenzharak, Orazal, Kulanotpes, Kosaral, Kaskatau and Nygman.

In the summer and in periods of drought the flow stops and the riverbed dries along most of its length, except for scattered pools.

There are a number of lakes in its basin, such as Izendi, Karatomar, Alabaital, Tuzkol, Alabas and Zharlykol.

Reeds grow on certain stretches of the riverbank, providing a habitat for ducks and woodcocks, among other birds.
