The Black Sea Shipyard (sounds: Chornomorskyi sudnobudivnyi zavod; Ukrainian: Чорноморський суднобудівний завод; Russian: Черноморский судостроительный завод) is located in Mykolaiv, Ukraine and is the largest shipyard with near direct access to the Black Sea. It is most often referred to as the Mykolaiv South Shipyard and was known as Soviet Shipyard No. 444.
It was founded in 1895 by Belgian interests, and began building warships in 1901. At the beginning of World War I in 1914, it was one of the largest industrial facilities in the Russian Empire.

The shipyard constructed the Moscow-class helicopter ships, Kyiv-class and Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrying cruisers, naval auxiliaries, commercial ships, and submarines. They also began construction on the legendary Stalingrad battlecruiser but was canceled after Stalin's death in 1953.

Today, the shipyard is a major enterprise consisting of shipbuilding, machine-building, and metallurgy. The shipyard has its own design center with a qualified engineering staff and modern computer equipment. Their integrated shipbuilding system (FORAN) includes computer-aided design (CAD), engineering (CAE), and manufacturing (CAM) of vessels
