Nizhneyansk ( Russian Нижнеянск , scientific transliteration Nižnejansk ; Yakut Нижнеянскай / Nischnejanskai ) is an urban-type settlement with 391 inhabitants (14 October 2010) in the Russian Far East . It is located in the tundra of the East Siberian lowlands in the delta of the Jana , on the left bank of the main arm about 30 kilometers above the mouth.

Nizhnejansk belongs to the Ulus Ust-Jansk . It is one of the three urban settlements of the Ulus and one of the ten parishes. It is enclosed by the municipality of Ust-Jansk, which includes the entire delta.

With port facilities and a repair yard, the place forms a traffic junction in the extremely sparsely populated region of the Russian polar sea coast. The port and settlement emerged during the Second World War . In 1958 the place was classified as a workers' settlement ( рабочий посёлок / rabotschi posjolok ). Until the 1960s, the name spelling Nizhne-Jansk was common.

The population has decreased massively in the last two decades: from around 2500 in 1989 to 700 in the 2002 census to only 357 in 2010.
