Tadibya (tádyebya; Russian: тадебя) is the mediator between the ordinary world and the upper- and underworlds of the spirits among the Nenets people. The Nenets rank their shamans after their spiritual attachment and function, as well according to their experience.

The following categories of Nenets shamans are listed by Mihaly Hoppal,[1] who cites research conducted by L. Khomitch and Leonid A. Lar:
- Vidutana, strong shamans
- standing in contact with the upper world
- Yanyani tadebya
- shamans belonging to the earth
- Sambana shamans
- being able to receive messages from the dead people, and to perform other rituals concerning the dead
