Yeruslan (Russian: Еруслан) is a river Saratov Oblast and Volgograd Oblast, Russia, a left tributary of the Volga. It is 278 kilometres (173 mi) long, and its drainage basin covers 5,570 square kilometres (2,150 sq mi).^[1] It springs from the south-western slope of the Obshchy Syrt and flows to the Yeruslan Cove of the Volgograd Reservoir. Yeruslan has the left inflow Solyonaya Kuba. Its former left tributary Torgun [ru] currently flows to the Yeruslan Cove. The town of Krasny Kut is located alongside the Yeruslan.^{[citation needed]}

At summer Yeruslan dries up in some places and has brackish (salty) water.
