Yelabuga (Russian: Ела́буга; Tatar: Alabuğa/Алабуга), also spelled Alabuga or Elabuga, is a town in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia. It is located on the Kama River. Population: 68,663 (2002 Census); 67,500 (2000 est.). It is served by Yelabuga North airfield.

The history of the settlement dates back to the 11th century, when a Volga Bulgarian border castle was established. The castle was later abandoned, and its remains are now known as Şaytan qalası (Shaytan's castle).

In the second half of the 16th century, a Russian village was founded on the same spot. It is known for its oil industry and as the birthplace of the painter Ivan Shishkin.

Yelabuga is sadly famous as the place where Russian poet Marina Tsvetayeva committed suicide 1941. The great poet is buried at the municipal cemetery.

In the 1990s, General Motors' assembly plant operated in the town.

Near to Yelabuga is the National Park Nizhnyaya Kama .
