Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug—Yugra (Russian: Ха́нты-Манси́йский автоно́мный о́круг — Югра́, Khanty-Mansiysky avtonomny okrug – Yugra), or Khantia-Mansia, is a federal subject of Russia (an autonomous okrug of Tyumen Oblast). The people native to the region are the Khanty and the Mansi, known collectively as Ob Ugric people. The general territory is historically known as Yugra.

The local languages, Khanty language and Mansi language enjoy special status in the autonomous okrug, while Russian remains the only official language.

The majority of the oil produced in Russia came from Khantia-Mansia, giving the region great economic importance.
