Yeniseysk, also Eniseisk and other variants (Russian: Енисе́йск), is a town in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, located on the Yenisei River. Population: 20,394 (2002 Census); 22,891 (1989 Census); 20,000 (1970).

Yeniseysk was an important junction on the Siberian River Routes.

Transfiguration Church was built in the 1750s

Yeniseysk was founded in 1619 as a stockaded town - the first founded town on the Yenisei river. It played an important role in Russian colonization of East Siberia in the 17th–18th centuries. Its location is due to the Siberian River Routes from the Urals, up the Ob, up the Ket River and over a portage to Yeniseysk and from there to the Yenisei basin. It became less important due to road and rail building further south. Its old town is included by the Russian government in the country's tentative World Heritage List.

The town is served by Yeniseysk Airport.
