The Tikyan (Russian: Тикян; Yakut: Тиикээн) is a river in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia.

[1] The river flows north of the Arctic Circle across desolate areas of Bulunsky District.

The nearest inhabited place is Kyusyur, located on the banks of the Lena, about 20 km (12 mi) northeast of its mouth.

After leaving the mountain area, it bends to the NNW and forms meanders within a floodplain.

In its final stretch it bends westwards and joins the right bank of the Lena 232 km (144 mi) from its mouth.
