The Kilmes ( Russian Кильме́зь ; udmurtisch Калмез ) is a left tributary of the Vyatka in the European part of Russia .
With a length of 270 km and a catchment area of 17,200 km², it is the second largest tributary of the Vyatka.

The Kilmes has its source in the northern Udmurt Republic in the Kama Heights . From there it flows primarily in a southerly direction through the densely forested, hilly northern center of Udmurtia.
After the confluence of the Arlet , it turns to the west and south-west. It meanders through the swampy area and takes on numerous streams and small rivers. Around 50 northeast of Kilmes , the Kilmes turns south, shortly before the village it turns again to the west. Below Kilmes, the river crosses the border with Kirov Oblast .
In Kirov Oblast, the Kilmes continues to flow very curvy towards the west. It forms numerous oxbow lakes and finally reaches the Vyatka at Ust-Kilmes .
use
The Kilmes is frozen on average from the beginning of November to the second half of April. The river is used by boat travelers . The middle course of the river is 10–60 m, on the border between Udmurtia and Kirov Oblast up to 75 m wide, between 0.5 and 3 m deep and runs in a valley up to 3 km wide. The Kilmes is mainly fed by melt water.
