Taymyria () is a federal subject of Russia (an autonomous okrug of Krasnoyarsk Krai), the northernmost in mainland Russia (and thus Asia). It is named after the Taymyr Peninsula. It is also called Dolgan-Nenets Autonomous District (Долгано-Ненецкий автономный округ), by the name of the indigenous people, Dolgans and Nenetses.

With an area of 862,100 km² (ranked 4th) and a population of 39,786 (2002 census), Taymyria is one of the least densely populated areas of Russia. Dudinka, with more than half of Taymyria's inhabitants, is the administrative centre.

Following a referendum on the issue held on April 17 2005, the districts of Taymyria and Evenkia will be merged into the Krasnoyarsk krai on January 1 2007.
