Yugoryonok () is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Ust-Maysky District of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located from Ust-Maya, the administrative center of the district, in a highly isolated region on the right bank of the Yudoma River. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 272.

==History== It was founded in 1940 at a river port on the Yudoma, for use as a service base for the nearby goldfields. It was initially administered from Yur, located about away. With the cessation of gold mining in the 1970s, Yur was abandoned, and Yugoryonok was granted urban-type settlement status in 1978. With the cessation of mining activities in the 1990s, its population has decreased dramatically.
