Yeniseysk (Russian: Енисейск, IPA: [jɪnʲɪˈsʲejsk]) is a town in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, located on the Yenisei River.

Yeniseysk was founded in 1619 as a stockaded town—the first town on the Yenisei River.

[2] It played an important role in Russian colonization of East Siberia in the 17th–18th centuries.

Its old town is included by the Russian government in the country's tentative World Heritage List.

Being less affected by the dry Siberian High in winter than areas farther east, Yeniseysk has reliably high snowfall by Siberian standards with a total of 207.8 millimetres (8.18 in) of precipitation between October and April, although on average not very high amounts compared to cold climates close to oceans.
