Samara (en russe : Самара) (entre 1935 et 1991 Kouïbychev) est une ville de Russie et la capitale administrative de l'oblast de Samara. Sa population s'élève à 1 169 719 (2017), ce qui en fait la neuvième ville de Russie. Elle fut initialement une forteresse édifiée en 1586 à la suite de la conquête du khanat de Kazan. Située au confluent de la Volga et de la Samara, elle s'est développée par la suite comme nœud ferroviaire. La décentralisation d'usines moscovites durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la proximité de gisements de pétrole ont suscité l'installation d'entreprises d'industrie chimique et de constructions mécaniques (aérospatiale) qui ont joué un rôle moteur dans sa croissance.
