Murmansk (russisch Му́рманск; kildinsamisch Мурман ланнҍ/Murman lann‘; finnisch auch Muurmanski, veraltet Muurmanni) ist eine nordeuropäische, nördlich des Polarkreises gelegene Hafenstadt auf der russischen Halbinsel Kola. Sie hat 307.257 Einwohner (Stand 14. Oktober 2010). Ausläufer des Golfstroms sichern der Stadt einen auch im Winter eisfreien Hafen, der bis 1991 militärisches Sperrgebiet war. Murmansk sowie das 20 km nördlicher gelegene Seweromorsk sind wichtige Stützpunkte der russischen Nordflotte.
