The Kamasins (; Kamassian: ) are a collection of tribes of Samoyedic peoples in the Sayan Mountains who lived along the Kan River and Mana River in the 17th century in the southern part of today's Krasnoyarsk Krai.
In the 2010 and 2021 Russian censuses, two people identified as Kamassian and listed under the subgroup "other nationalities". Also, 21 people, comprising 0.5% of the population of Sayansky District, are declared as Kamasins and their descendants by the district administration in the official tourist guide (2021). thumb|Kamassian settlement — the stand of the Uner rural locality at the Sayan Bird Fest, Aginskoye, Krasnoyarsk Krai|Aginskoye, July 2023
