Assamese Brahmins (Assamese: অসমীয়া ব্ৰাহ্মণ, Hindi: असमिया ब्राह्मण) constitute the Indo-Aryan community of the Assam Valley who belong to the Vedic Brahmin caste. Brahmins are found everywhere in Assam and surrounding areas however, most predominantly in Jorhat, Nalbari, Barpeta, Goalpara and Darrang districts. Assamese Brahmins have a significant diaspora, mainly in West Bengal, and are considered to be at the apex of eastern India's caste hierarchy.
