The Tuman River (Chinese: 吐曼河; pinyin: Tǔmàn Hé; Uyghur: تۇمەن دەرياسى, romanized: Tumen Deryasi) is a river in Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang, China. The name comes from the Uyghur word "tuman" (تۇمان, Тумән) meaning "fog". The Tuman is a minor tributary of the Tarim Basin. It is 77.6 kilometres (48.2 mi) long and receives the water from 487 square kilometres (188 sq mi) of land. The oasis city of Kashgar is located on the Tuman's south bank.
