The Project 23900 Ivan Rogov is the newest class of Russian amphibious assault ships intended as a replacement for the French Mistral class, two of which were ordered by Russia in 2011, but that France refused to deliver in September 2014 due to the Russo-Ukrainian War. A contract was signed on 22 May 2020 for the construction of two Project 23900 ships with a displacement of 40,000 tons. The construction is led by JSC Zelenodolsk Design Bureau, which is a part of JSC Ak Bars Shipbuilding Corporation.

Previously, the Lavina (Russian: Лавина, lit.'Avalanche'), and Priboy (Russian: Прибой, lit.'Surf') designs were proposed by the Nevskoe Design Bureau and Krylov State Research Center as the replacement for Mistrals.

Project 23900 is also a successor class to the unrealized Soviet Project 11780 program.
