The Poronay (, ) is the longest river on the island of Sakhalin in Russia. It flows in a southerly direction through Tym, Smirnykhovsky and Poronaysky Districts.

==Geography== The river begins on Mt. Nevel in the East Sakhalin Mountains, flows south through the swampy wetlands of the Tym-Poronay Valley, and enters the Sea of Okhotsk in the Gulf of Patience. before it enters the sea, the river divides into two arms, which flow into the sea apart from each other. The two branches create a marshy river island in the middle. The town of Poronaysk is located near the western mouth of the river.
