The Egiin gol ( _mn. Эгийн гол) is a river in the Khövsgöl and Bulgan provinces in northern Mongolia. It is the only outflow of Khövsgöl nuur and a tributary of the Selenge river. Wooden bridges exist near Khatgal and in Tünel sum, and a concrete bridge has been built in Erdenebulgan. In Bulgan Province there is the bridge between Teshig sum and Khutag-Öndör sum.

Since the early 1990's there have been efforts to build a hydroelectric dam on this river. On one hand this would bring much needed electricity to area. The movement, however, have been opposed by several different academic communities--archaeology because of the rich and unexplored archaeological data in area; geology because the area has siesmic potential. This will also displace some nomads as it floods some pastures and homesteads.
