'''Qashan''' ({{langx|tt-Cyrl|Кашан|translit=Qaşan}}) was a medieval city in Volga Bulgaria, on the right bank of Kama river from the 12th to the 15th century.
==History== In the 12th and 13th centuries, it was one of the administrative and political centres of the Lower Kama region of Volga Bulgaria.
In the 14th century it became a capital of the Qashan Duchy. In 1391, it was destroyed by the ''ushkuiniki'', Russian river pirates, and finally in 1399 by Muscovite troops.
The ruins are situated near the present-day village of Shuran in Laishevsky District of Tatarstan.
