The Ichvuveyem (Russian: Ичвувеем,[1] also: Ичувеем Ichuveyem) is a stream in Far East Siberia flowing in a roughly westward direction. Its valley marks the southern limit of the Shelag Range. The Ichvuveyem is 154 kilometres (96 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 2,960 square kilometres (1,140 sq mi).[2] It passes through the sparsely populated areas of the Siberian tundra and flows into the East Siberian Sea at the Chaunskaya Bay. Its mouth is in a low, marshy area to the NE of the mouth of the Chaun.

The Ichvuveyem and its basin belong to the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug administrative region of Russia.
