Kryashens (, , ; sometimes called Baptised Tatars ()) are a subgroup of the Volga Tatars, frequently referred to as one of the minority ethnic groups in Russia. They are mostly found in Tatarstan and in Udmurtia, Bashkortostan and Chelyabinsk Oblast.
Kryashens are Orthodox Christians, and some of them regard themselves as being different from other Tatars even though most Kryashen dialects differ only slightly from the central dialect of the Tatar language and do not differ from the accents of the Tatar Muslims in the same areas.
