Vayegi (; , Vaargyn; Koryak: Ваевви, Vaevvi) is a rural locality (a selo) in Anadyrsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located near the border with Kamchatka Krai, on the banks of the river Mayn, southwest of Anadyr, the administrative center of the autonomous okrug. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 497.
==History== It was founded in 1951 as a result of the ongoing Soviet policy of collectivization. The kolkhoz (collective farm) that was founded around Vayegi brought together several groups of previously nomadic herders, including the more remote settlements of Beryozovo and the old settlement of Vayegi, which both became abandoned. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, small rural localities like Vayegi were extremely hard hit economically. In 2000, for example, when the monthly living wage across Chukotka was estimated at 3,800 rubles, the average wage in Vayegi was in the range of 700–800 rubles.
