The Tschondon ( Russian Чондон ; Yakut Чондоон , Tschondoon ) is a 606 km long tributary of the Laptev Sea in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in Russia .

The Tschondon rises on the southwest flank of the Selennjach Mountains (Selennjachski chrebet) , one of the mid-mountainous northern foothills of the Tscherski Mountains , almost 100 km as the crow flies northwest of the mining settlement Deputatski . It first flows north of the Irgitschan Mountains (Irgitschinski chrebet) in a westerly direction, then east of the Kuigagebirge (Kuiginski chrebet) past the north. After reaching the Jana Indigirka Lowlands , the river turns northeast, then north again. It flows strongly meandering through the lowlands up to its confluence with the Tschondonbusen, part of the Janabusen, named after the Jana , which flows further to the west , on the southeast edge of the Laptev Sea. The Tschondon forms an extensive estuary delta that forms a unit with that of the Jana: the left Tschondon arm Sassyr is connected to the extreme right Jana arm Maly Samandon.

The catchment area of the Tschondon covers 18,900 km². The most important tributaries are the Buor-Jurjach (length 170 km) from the left and Ygannja (142 km), Kyra-Ygannja (98 km), Dodomo (104 km) and Nutschtscha (243 km) from the right.

The Tschondon flows along its entire length through the very sparsely populated Ulus Ust-Jansk . The only village on the river is the village of Tumat on the lower middle reaches. A part of the river from Tumat in the direction of the mouth and several left arms and the right arms of the Jana estuary Samandon and Maly Samandon make up a 341 km long inland waterway . The left bank of the upper reaches of the river is followed by the road between Ust-Kuiga , village for about 50 km and jetty on the Jana, and Deputatski.
