Kondopoga (Russian: Кондопога) is a Ropucha-class landing ship of the Russian Navy and part of the Northern Fleet.

Named after the town of Kondopoga, the ship was built in Poland and launched in 1976. She was named SDK-182 (Russian: СДК-182) for Russian: Средний десантный корабль, romanized: Sredny desantnyi korabl', lit.'medium landing ship', during construction, before being named BDK-182 (Russian: БДК-182) for Russian: Большой десантный корабль, romanized: Bolshoy desantnyi korabl', lit.'large landing ship', and then renamed Kondopoga in 1999. She is one of the first subtype of the Ropucha-class landing ships, designated Project 775 by the Russian Navy.
