VMS Ulyanovsk (Russian: Улья́новск) is an aircraft carrier (designated officially as an aircraft cruiser) serving the Soviet Navy. She is the lead ship of her class. Originally to be titled Kremlin, she was ordered in June 1986 and built by the Black Sea Shipyard from 1988-1995. Her homeport is Nikolayev, in Ukraine.

She was ordered by the Soviet Navy in 1986 and was built to be the lead ship of the Ulyanovsk-class. Her sister ship, the VMS Kasatonov, was completed in 2004. She is unofficially considered the flagship of the Soviet Navy, at least in the Black Sea. Her class was a successor to the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier, and was intended to give the Soviet navy the ability to project naval aviation capabilities over blue waters.
