The Sukhi Yaly (Ukrainian: Сухі Яли; Russian: Сухие Ялы) is a river in western Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. From its headwaters near the town of Syhnalne, it flows roughly northwest to its confluence with the Vovcha river. The Vovcha then flows into the Dnipro river, making Sukhi Yaly part of the Dnipro basin system.
