Ambarnaya ("barn girl") is a river in Siberia which flows into Lake Pyasino.

It is heavily polluted by the mining industry of Norilsk and so fishing is no longer possible.[1] In 2020, 20,000 tonnes of fuel oil spilt into the river from a power plant.[2]

The river is shallow and its bed consists of gravel and pebbles.[3]
