The Jeschuga (Russian Ежуга ) is a right tributary of the Pinega in the catchment area of the Northern Dvina River in Arkhangelsk Oblast and the Republic of Komi in northwestern Russia.

The Jeschuga originates on the watershed between Pinega and Waschka on the territory of the Republic of Komi. From there it flows first north to the Arkhangelsk Oblast, then turns west. A sharp change in direction to the north and west again later lead the Jeschuga finally to Pinega.

The Jeschuga is 165 km long and drains an area of 2850 km ². Your annual runoff is largely determined by spring floods during the snow melt. The average discharge at the level Schirokoje, 50 km upstream of the mouth is 21 m³ / s

The Syrjanskaja Jeschuga, a tributary of the Waschka, springs near the Jeschuga source.
