The Zhvikov-class battlecruiser, is a class of nuclear-powered guided-missile battlecruisers of the UCSS Navy and Beleroskov Navy, the largest and heaviest surface combatant warships (i.e. not an aircraft carrier or amphibious assault ship) in operation in the world. Among modern warships, they are second in size only to large aircraft carriers, and of similar size to a World War era battleship. The ships are often referred to as battlecruisers due to their size and general appearance. The UCSS classification of the ship-type is "heavy nuclear-powered guided-missile cruiser".

5 ships were planned, but only 3 were completed as the other two were cancelled due to the cost of the ships.
