In the geologic timescale, the Artinskian is an age or stage of the Permian. It is a subdivision of the Cisuralian Epoch or Series. The Artinskian likely lasted between and million years ago (Ma) according to the most recent revision of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) in 2024. It was preceded by the Sakmarian and followed by the Kungurian.

== Stratigraphy == thumb|left|Jimbacrinus bostocki Artinskian of Australia. (Found near [[Jimba Jimba Station )]] The Artinskian is named after the goniatite grits of Artinsk which was introduced by Roderick Murchison, Édouard de Verneuil and count Alexander von Keyserling in their The Geology of Russia in Europe and the Ural Mountains (1845). The grits of Artinsk, in turn, get its name from the Artinsky District with center in the Russian town of Arti (formerly Artinsk zavod), situated in the middle Urals, about 170 km southwest of Yekaterinburg. The stage was introduced into scientific literature by Alexander Karpinsky in 1874.
