The Ust-Katav Wagon-Building Plant, officially the Ust-Katavskiy Carriage Works named after S. M. Kirov (Russian: Усть-Катавский вагоностроительный завод имени С. М. Кирова, romanizedUst'-Katavskiy Vagonostroitel'nyy Zavod imeni S. M. Kirova) is a railroad carriage works in Ust-Katav, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia.

From 1947 to the end of the 20th century (before the series KTM-8), the factory built trams under the brand name KТМ, which is often used as an informal designation for subsequent models with digital items (e.g. tram 71-619 is also known as KTM-19).
