The Buor-Khaya Cape, also known as Cape Buorkhaya, ( _ru. Мыс Буор-Хая; "Mys Buor-Khaya") is a landhead in the Laptev Sea.

The sea in the area surrounding the cape is frozen for about nine months every year and often clogged with ice floes. On its eastern side there is a long semi-submerged landspit known as Kosa Buor-Khaya.

Administratively the Buor-Khaya Cape belongs to the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) of the Russian Federation.
