Novoselenginsk (Russian: Новоселенги́нск) is a rural locality (a settlement) in Selenginsky District of the Republic of Buryatia, Russia, located on the Selenge River south of Lake Baikal. The urban-type settlement of Selenginsk, located 115 kilometers (71 mi) to the north, is unrelated to this settlement. The Decembrist Nikolay Bestuzhev was exiled here from 1839 until his death in 1855.
