'Bazaikha', 'Bazaiha' (Russian: База́иха) is a river in the Krasnoyarsk Krai. It is the third largest river in the Krasnoyarsk neighborhood after Yenisey and Mana. The name derived from the Kamassian ''bazai-agha'' — ''metal (copper) river''.
The length of Bazaiha is 128 km. Beginning in the Eastern Sayan mountains it flows west-northward without a contact with populated places until the very confluence with the Yenisey in the suburbs near the southwestern edge of the Krasnoyarsk city. The valley is mostly deep and winding with the banks covered with conifers.
Numerous resorts, dachas and cottages are built in the valley stretching out for 14 km inwards from the confluence. By the Yenisey the village of ''Bazaikha'' is located which is now considered a part of Krasnoyarsk; it should not be confused with the railway station named ''Bazaikha'' which is located 18 km westward of it.
The closest approach to the wild part of Bazaikha is from the villages of Beryozovskiy and Magansk.
