Lavochkin (OKB-301) was a Soviet aircraft design bureau (OKB), now defunct, named for its head designer, Semyon Lavochkin. It gained distinction for its family of piston-engined fighter aircraft during World War II, and later shifted to missile designs. The bureau was closed in 1960 upon its head designer's death, but was later re-opened as the NPO Lavochkin to work on interplanetary probe designs for the Lunokhod program that successfully landed two rovers on the surface of the moon.
NPO Lavochkin is the successor organization, a Russian satellite manufacturer formerly also active in aeronautical design and engineering. The firm sometimes goes by the names Lavochkin Research and Production Association or Lavochkin Association. Currently it is headed by Valeriy N. Poletskiy.
