Saratov (Саратов) is a Russian city on the Volga river, and is the administrative centre of the Saratov district (Саратовский район) and Saratov oblast (Саратовская область) in the Russian Federation.

During Tchaikovsky's lifetime the city was the centre of the Saratov district (Саратовский уезд) and Saratov province (Саратовская губерния) of the Russian Empire.
