Bamiyan (dari: بامیان) er en by i det centrale Afghanistan. Byen er hovedstad i provinsen Bamiyan og den største by i den centrale afghanske region Hazarajat. Den har en befolkning på omkring 100.000 (2014) indbyggere, og ligger cirka 240 kilometer nordvest for Kabul.
Byen er kendt for den gamle del, hvor to Buddhastatuer stod i næsten to årtusinder, før de blev sprængt væk med dynamit af Taliban i 2001. Senest er der også blevet fundet nogle af verdens ældste oliemalerier i Bamiyan.[1]

The cavity where the largest of the Buddha’s of Bamiyan statues, known to locals as the "Father Buddha," used to stand towers above the Bamyan valley, June 16, 2012. The monumental statues were built in A.D. 507 and 554 and were the largest statues of standing Buddha on Earth until the Taliban dynamited them in 2001. (Photo ID: 607650)
