The Ekityki River (or Ekittyki River) is a stream located in Chukotka, in Far East Siberia. It flows from Central Chukotka, across the Ekityki Lake into the right side of the Chantalveergyn River, a left-hand tributary of the Amguyema River.

The Ekityki River flows through the sparsely populated areas of the Eastern Siberian tundra. Salmon, whitefish, vendace, grayling, pike, rainbow herring (northwestern smelt), burbot, bull trout and loach are common in its waters.

This river belongs to the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug administrative region of Russia.

The easternmost remains of wooly rhinoceroses (Coelodonta antiquitatis) have been found in the Ekityki river basin.
