Slavyansk-on-Kuban () is a town in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, located in the Kuban River delta. Population: 56,000 (1975).

==History== Slavyansk originated in the Middle Ages as Copa or Coparia, a Genoese trade outpost controlled by the Ghisolfi family and was one of the most important Genoese colonies in the Black Sea area. After the fall of the Genoese power in the Pontic region, the site was abandoned until 1747 when the Crimean Khanate erected a small fort, known in Russian sources as Kopyl.
