Tooruktug Dolgai Tangdym (Tuvan: Тооруктуг долгай таңдым, Tooruktuğ dolgay tañdım, Tuvan pronunciation: [tʰoːɾukˈtʰuɣ tolgaj tʰaŋˈtɯm], "The Forest is Full of Pine Nuts"; Russian: Лес, полный кедровых орехов, Les, polný kedrovych orechov; also translated as "The Forest is Full of Cedar Nuts" or "The Taiga is Full of Cedar Nuts") is an old Tuvan folk song that became the national anthem of the TAR and later official regional anthem of Republic of Tuva, Russia. On August 11, 2011, it was replaced by a new anthem titled "Men – Tyva Men".

The song expresses the Tuvan belief that a person who takes care of his environment, his livestock, and the plentiful taiga will want for nothing. It refers to Tangdy, or the Tannu-Ola mountains, a mountain range in southern Tuva that is revered by the Tuvan people. The name of the mountain range is incorporated into "Tannu-Tuva," the popular name for the Tuvan People's Republic.
