The Inhulets (Template:Langx) or Ingulets (Template:Langx) is a river, a right tributary of the Dnieper, that flows through Ukraine. It has a length of Script error: No such module "convert". and a drainage basin of Script error: No such module "convert"..[1]

The Inhulets has its source in the Dnieper Upland in a ravine (balka) to the west of Topylo village,[1] in the Kropyvnytskyi Raion of Kirovohrad Oblast, about Script error: No such module "convert". from the Dnieper river, to which it initially flows parallel. The Inhulets turns south, where it flows through Kryvbas Iron Ore Basin, and the Kherson and Mykolaiv Oblasts, before finally flowing into the Dnieper about Script error: No such module "convert". east of the city of Kherson. The river flows through southern spurs of the Dnieper Uplands and then across the Black Sea Lowland.[1] The upper portion of the Inhulets basin is in the forest steppe zone, the lower part within the Pontic steppe.[1]

The river is dammed at the village of Iskrivka in Kirovohrad Oblast and about Script error: No such module "convert". further downstream at the city of Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to form reservoirs. The lower one, the Template:Ill, provides the water supply for Kryvyi Rih and for irrigation. On 14 September 2022 the Ukrainian government said a Russian missile attack had broken the dam, causing flooding.[2]

The course of the river near Kryvyi Rih has created many small islands, which have a rich vegetation. However, by 2017 the vegetation was impaired by the high level of contamination of the river, due to the nearby iron ore mining industry.[3]

Urban localities located on the river include Oleksandriia, Kryvyi Rih, Shyroke, Inhulets (former city merged with Kryvyi Rih), and Snihurivka.

The M14 highway crosses the river over the Daryivka Bridge, connecting the cities of Kherson and Beryslav.[4]

During Kherson counteroffensive of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine between 1 September and 11 October, Ukraine regained the northern third of the rectangle between the Inhulets and Dnieper and continued to push slowly south toward Kherson and the dam at Nova Kakhovka.[5]
