The Kirov Plant, Kirov Factory or Leningrad Kirov Plant (LKZ) (Russian: Кировский завод, romanized: Kirovskiy zavod) is a major Russian mechanical engineering and agricultural machinery manufacturing plant in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was established in 1789, then moved to its present site in 1801 as a foundry for cannonballs. The Kirov Plant is sometimes confused with another Leningrad heavy weapons manufacturer, Factory No. 185 (S.M. Kirov). Recently the main production of the company is Kirovets heavy tractors.
In 1917 the factory was an important center of the Red Guards formations.
