Yaransk (; , Yaraň) is a town and the administrative center of Yaransky District in Kirov Oblast, Russia, located on the Yaran River (Vyatka's basin), southwest of Kirov, the administrative center of the oblast.
==History== In the Middle Ages, it had a central position in the land of Mari and served as the capital of the Mari people. In 1584, Yaransk was founded as a Russian fortress on the Yaran River where the old Mari fortress once stood to defend against the Mari. A posad later grew around the fortress. Town status was granted to Yaransk in 1780.
