Labytnangi (Russian: Лабытна́нги; from Khanty: лапыт нангк; lit.

Labytnaŋgy) is a town in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located on the left bank of the Ob River, 20 kilometers (12 mi) northwest of Salekhard.

[2] Labytnangi is connected to the European Russia by a branch of the Konosha-Vorkuta railway.

It is the terminus station on this short stub branch; however, it was built in the early 1950s by Gulag inmates as the first stage of a large project under which the railway would have crossed the north of Tyumen Oblast and reached Igarka on the Yenisei River.

[citation needed] Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is incorporated as the town of okrug significance of Labytnangi—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.
