Dolgans (; ; ) are a Turkic ethnic group who mostly inhabit Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. They are descended from several groups, particularly sibirs, one of the Indigenous peoples of the Russian North. Dolgans are the most closely related to the sibirs. They adopted a Turkic language sometime in the early 7th century. The 2010 Census counted 7,885 Dolgans. This number includes 5,517 in Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District.
