The '''Khromskaya Bay''' ({{lang-ru|Хромская губа}}, ''Khromskaya Guba'') or '''Khroma Bay''' is a bay in the [[East Siberian Sea]] west of the [[Sundrun River]] region and east of the [[Yana Bay]].
The bay is open to the northeast through a narrow and straight channel and is 130 km in length. Its maximum width is about 30 km and it has a branch or inlet extending northwards midway between its mouth and its most inland shore point. The [[Omullyakhskaya Bay]] lies north of Khromskaya Bay and shares the same mouth.
This bay is in an area of wetlands; lakes and marshes dot the whole landscape. The [[Khroma River]] flows into this bay from the south.
Owing to is northerly location the Khromskaya Bay is covered with ice most of the year. In the summer the bay is a breeding and moulting area for the [[Lesser White-fronted Goose]].<ref>[http://www.wwf.fi/wwf/www/uploads/pdf/Ar99indi.pdf Lesser White-fronted Goose conservation project]</ref>
