MegaFon (Russian: МегаФон) is the second largest mobile phone operator and the third largest telecommunications company in Russia, headquartered in Moscow. As of 2024, the company serves 77.26 million subscribers across Russia and Tajikistan. MegaFon operates across 85 federal subjects of Russia, Tajikistan and South Ossetia.

In 2002 the company changed its name from North-West GSM to MegaFon when it acquired several regional companies, becoming the first GSM company in Russia to cover all its territory. The name "MegaFon" in Russian is spelled and pronounced exactly like the Russian word for megaphone; other connotations are mega- as "big" and fon as "telephone".
