'''Norilsk''' ({{lang-rus|Нори́льск|p=nɐˈrʲilʲsk}}) is a [[closed city]] in [[Krasnoyarsk Krai]], [[Russia]],  located south of the western [[Taymyr Peninsula]], around 90 km east of the [[Yenisei|Yenisey River]] and 1,500 km north of [[Krasnoyarsk]]. Norilsk is 300 km north of the [[Arctic Circle]] and 2,400 km from the [[North Pole]]. It has a permanent population of 176,735 as of 2024,<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 April 2024 |title=The permanent population of the Russian Federation in municipalities as of January 1, 2024 |url=https://rosstat.gov.ru/storage/mediabank/%D0%A1hisl_MO_01-01-2024.xlsx |publisher=[[Federal State Statistics Service]]}}</ref> and up to 220,000 including temporary inhabitants.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://norilsk-city.ru/about/1242/index.shtml|title=О городе - Официальный сайт города Норильска|website=norilsk-city.ru|access-date=2022-03-05}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.norilsk-city.ru/about/91891/91892/index.shtml#:~:text=%D0%9D%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%CC%81%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%81%D0%BA%20%E2%80%93%20%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%20%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%20%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B4%D1%87%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F%20%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%8F%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE,2400%20%D0%BA%D0%BC%20%D0%BE%D1%82%20%D0%A1%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%20%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8E%D1%81%D0%B0.|title=Норильск туристический - Официальный сайт города Норильска|website=www.norilsk-city.ru|access-date=2022-03-05}}</ref> It is the second-largest city in the region after Krasnoyarsk. Since 2016, Norilsk's population has grown steadily. In 2017, for the first time, migration to the city exceeded outflow. In 2018, according to Krasnoyarskstat, natural population growth amounted to 1,357 people: 2,381 were born, and 1,024 died.

It is the world's [[List of northernmost items#Cities and settlements|northernmost]] city with more than 180,000 inhabitants, and the second-largest city (after [[Murmansk]]) inside the [[Arctic Circle]]. Norilsk and [[Yakutsk]] are the only large cities in the [[continuous permafrost]] zone.

Norilsk is located atop some of the largest [[nickel]] deposits on Earth. Consequently, mining and [[smelting]] ore are the major industries. Norilsk is the center of a region where nickel, [[copper]], [[cobalt]], [[platinum]], [[palladium]], and [[coal]] are mined. The presence of mineral deposits in the [[Siberian Craton]] was known for two centuries before Norilsk was founded, but mining began only in 1939, when subterranean portions of the Norilsk-[[Talnakh]] intrusions were found beneath mountainous terrain.

In 2004, two satellite cities (Talnakh and [[Kayerkan]]) became districts of the city of Norilsk, and Oganer became a suburb of Norilsk's Central District. The jurisdiction of Norilsk also extends to the settlement of [[Snezhnogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai|Snezhnogorsk]], which originated in 1963 as a settlement to accommodate the builders of the Ust-Khantai Hydroelectric Power Station.

Access to Norilsk is restricted for foreign citizens, who are required to obtain special permission to visit.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.norilsk-city.ru/38341/index.shtml|title=Въезд иностранных граждан - Официальный сайт города Норильска|website=www.norilsk-city.ru|access-date=2022-03-05}}</ref>
