The Besermyan or Beserman people (Udm. бесерманъёс, Russ. бесермяне) are a small group of people living in Russia. There were 100,000 Besermyans in 1926, but according to the 2002 census, there were 3,122 of them in Russia. They live in the Yukamen, Glazov, Balezino and Yar Districts of Udmurtia. There are ten villages with pure Besermyan and forty-one villages with a mixed Besermyan population in Russia.

The Besermyans' language is a dialect of Udmurt.

Some Besermyans' traditions differ from other Udmurtian customs due to the Islamic influence at the Khanate of Kazan period.
