Tukhard () is a rural locality (a selo) in Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District, Krasnoyarsk Krai in northern Russia, west of Dudinka in the Gydanskii tundra, on the banks of the Bolshaya Kheta River, from its confluence with the Yenisey. Inhabited by the Nenets people, it is noted for its natural gas production by the company Norilskgazprom along the Messoyakha-Dudinka-Norilsk gas pipeline, and its reindeer herding and meat and fishing. In 2010 it had a population of 814 people.
==History== In 1968, the village of Tukhard was formed as the starting point for the construction of the Messoyakha-Dudinka-Norilsk gas pipeline, and Norilskgazprom established a transshipment base on the banks of the Bolshaya Kheta. The workers for Norilskgazprom built the first buildings in Tukhard.The name of the village is a combination of two Nenets words: "tu" - fire and "harad" meaning house - meaning "a place where fire is made" (natural gas).
