Yeysk (Russian: Ейск) is a port and a resort town in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, situated on the shore of the Taganrog Gulf of the Sea of Azov. The town is built primarily on the Yeya Spit, which separates the Yeya River from the Sea of Azov. Population: 87,769 (2010 Census);86,349 (2002 Census);78,150 (1989 Census).

Tsutsiev's Atlas shows a Yeyskoye at the head of the Yeya bay for 1763-1785 and a Yeysk somewhat south of the present location from 1829-1839. The town was founded in 1848 by Prince Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov in accordance with a royal order from the Tsar of Russia.

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Yeysk serves as the administrative center of Yeysky District, even though it is not a part of it. As an administrative division, it is, together with the territory of Shirochansky Rural Okrug (which comprises seven rural localities), incorporated separately as the Town of Yeysk—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, the Town of Yeysk is incorporated within Yeysky Municipal District as Yeyskoye Urban Settlement.
