The Kas is a river in West Siberian Russia, a left tributary of the Enise.
It originates at the eastern edge of the vast West Siberian Plain, initially flowing northwest; about halfway along its course, it makes a sharp 90-degree turn. It receives the Malyj Kas tributary (87 km long) and, under the name Kas, takes a northeasterly direction, eventually flowing into the Yenisei River 1,817 km from its mouth. It is 464 km long and has a drainage basin of 11,200 km2.[1] The greater part of the basin lies on low-lying terrain with poor drainage, leading to the formation of swamps during the warm season.
The river does not encounter any significant settlements along its course; on average, it remains frozen from early November to mid-May.

Observations were recorded 40 years ago, during the 1951–1993 period, at Alexandrovsky, a small settlement located 197 kilometers from its confluence with the Yenisei.[2]
