The VVA-14 was an experimental ground effect aircraft developed in the Soviet Union during the 1970s. It was the brainchild of Italian-Soviet aircraft designer Robert Bartini and was designed mainly to be an antisubmarine aircraft that could take off from water using the ground effect.

The project was plagued by engineering difficulties in avionics and flight control and was dropped soon after Bartini's death. The surviving prototypes are now housed at the Russian Federation Air Force Museum in Monino, Russia.
