The '''Turya''' ({{langx|ru|Турья́}}) is a river in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. It is a right tributary of the Sosva. It is {{convert|128|km|mi}} long, with a drainage basin of {{convert|1160|km2|mi2}}.<ref name=gvr>{{GVR|196881|Река Турья}}</ref>
The river has its sources in the boggy regions east of the central Ural Mountains. It flows eastwards through a relatively open and somewhat boggy landscape, and flows into the Sosva some {{convert|25|km|mi}} east of Krasnoturyinsk. The river is {{convert|10|to|40|m|ft}} wide. It freezes over in late October, and stays frozen until late April or early May. Along the Turya lie the towns of Krasnoturyinsk and Karpinsk.
In 1943 a dam was built across the river at Krasnoturyinsk. The resulting Bogoslovskoye Reservoir is {{convert|18|m|ft}} deep, about {{convert|0.5|km|mi|1}} wide and {{convert|8|km|mi|0}} long, and stretches to the neighbouring town of Karpinsk. Later, more dams were built upstream.
The river is polluted as a result of nearby industries, like the Bogoslovsky Aluminium Plant, a chicken factory, and a power plant, in addition to runoff from the towns of Krasnoturyinsk and Karpinsk.
