The Maly Irgiz (Russian: Малый Ирги́з, lit. 'Little Irgiz') is a river in Saratov Oblast, Russia, a left tributary of the Volga. It is 235 kilometres (146 mi) long, with a drainage basin of 3,900 square kilometres (1,500 mi²). The river is fed by snow. Above Seleznikha Maly Irgiz dries up systematically (up to 305 days per year without drainage). Between November and April the Maly Irgiz is frozen.
