Lamutskoye (Russian: Ламутское) is a rural locality (a selo) in Anadyrsky District of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, located northwest of Markovo and 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) northeast of Chuvanskoye on the middle reaches of the Anadyr River. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 173.
The name of Lamutskoye is derived from the word Lamut—an archaic name for the Evens (the dominant indigenous people in the area who migrated to western Chukotka from what is now the Sakha Republic of Russia). It stands in the upper reaches of the Anadyr River, near the mouth of the Bolshoy Peledon River.
Founded in 1936 (or, according to other sources, in 1940) as a collective farm, Lamutskoye served as a central hub for the Lamutsko-Yablonskaya nomadic reindeer breeders group, consisting of only eight itinerant families. In 1960, along with Chuvanskoye and Markovo, the farm was merged to form the Markovsky State Farm.
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, small localities like Lamutskoye were extremely hard hit. In 2000, the monthly living wage across Chukotka was estimated at 3,800 rubles; however, the average wage in Lamutskoye was a meager 50–100 rubles.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Lamutskoye is subordinated to Anadyrsky District. Within the framework of municipal divisions, Lamutskoye is a part of Lamutskoye Rural Settlement within Anadyrsky Municipal District.
