The Moyka is a secondary, in comparison with the Neva, river in Saint Petersburg that encircles the central portion of the city, effectively making it an island or a group of islands together with the Neva, Fontanka, Griboyedov Canal and shorter canals like Kryukov. The river, originally known as Mya, derives its name from the Ingrian word Muya for "slush" or "mire", having its original source in former swamp. It is 5 kilometres long and 40 metres wide. ()
