Saskylakh (Russian: Саскылах; Yakut: Сааскылаах, Saaskılaax) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative center of Anabarsky District in the Sakha Republic, Russia.

Precipitation is moderate; it falls mostly as rain in summer and mainly as snow throughout the rest of the year.

Brief spells of maritime air can bring temperatures a lot less cold, but there are still eight reliable months below freezing.

There is also a strong seasonal lag due to the late thawing of the ice pack to the north.

It was founded in 1930 as a part of Soviet efforts to settle the nomadic Yakuts, Evenks, and Dolgans who lived in the area.
