Russia–Tajikistan relations (Russian: Российско-таджикские отношения) are the bilateral relations between the Russian Federation and Tajikistan.

Dmitry Medvedev meets Emomali Rahmon in Tajikistan. September 2011.

Both countries are close allies and members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the military alliance formed by the Collective Security Treaty Organization, and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Tajikistan hosts Russian military units and infrastructure in Central Asia. Tajikistan and Russia also work closely together in issues concerning Afghanistan and are partners in anti-terrorism, anti-narcotics, and intelligence operations.

Since 1992, Russia has allowed Tajik nationals dual citizenship of Russia and Tajikistan.[2]

On May 25, 1993, a Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance was signed between the two countries.[3]

Tajikistan is highly dependent on the remittances coming from Russia. In 2012, it received US$3.595 billion in migrant remittances, equalling some 48% of its GDP. Some 1.5 million Tajiks work abroad, mostly in Russia.[4]

After the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin during the Russia's invasion of Ukraine in March 2023, Putin will be subject to arrest by the Tajik authorities if he ever visits the country. Tajikistan is a signatory of the ICC Rome Statute while Russia does not after it withdrew in 2016 after its annexation of Crimea in 2014.[5][6]

The current Ambassador of Russia to Tajikistan is Igor Lyakin-Frolov. The current Ambassador of Tajikistan to Russia is Imomuddin Sattorov.
