Ivanovo-Voznesensk Polytechnic Institute (IVPI; Russian: Иваново-Вознесенский политехнический институт) was a higher-education institution in the city of Ivanovo-Voznesensk (present-day Ivanovo) in Russia. Established on the basis of the evacuated Riga Polytechnical Institute (Russian: Рижский политехнический институт), it operated from 1918 to 1930; in 1930 it was liquidated, and branch universities were set up on the basis of individual faculties.
The complex of buildings of the IVPI (Sheremetevsky Prospekt, 7) was built in 1928–1937 in the "proletarian classical" style (architect - Ivan Fomin) and included four buildings - the main building (1937), the Faculty of Chemistry (1930), working faculty (1934) and library (1931).
Currently, the Ivanovo State Polytechnic University (IvSPU; Russian: Ивановский государственный политехнический университет) and the Ivanovo State University of Chemistry and Technology (IGKhTU; Russian: Ивановский государственный химико-технологический университет) occupy the buildings of the former Ivanovo-Voznesensk Polytechnic Institute.
