Samara (Russisch: Сама́ра) is een miljoenenstad in Europees Rusland. De stad ligt een kleine duizend kilometer ten oosten van Moskou, op de plek waar de rivier de Samara in de Wolga stroomt, die hier de Boog van Samara vormt. Het is de hoofdstad van de gelijknamige oblast (provincie) Samara en heeft ruim 1,1 miljoen inwoners, waarmee Samara naar inwoneraantal de zesde stad van Rusland is; in de stedelijke agglomeratie, waartoe ook onder andere Toljatti wordt gerekend, wonen 2,3 miljoen mensen. Van 1935 tot 1991 heette de stad Koejbysjev, naar de sovjetstaatsman Valerian Koejbysjev.
