The Lada Niva Legend, previously known as the Lada Niva and Lada 4×4, is a series of small, compact off-road vehicles designed and built by AvtoVAZ starting from 1977. Originally catering to rural markets, the model has evolved to attract urban users as well. The Niva includes three- and five-door hatchback versions, as well as longer wheelbase wagon and pickup truck variants.

Throughout the years, AvtoVAZ expanded the Niva lineup with three and five-door wagons on an extended wheelbase, as well as an extra-long wheelbase pickup truck. Notably, with the discontinuation of the original Land Rover and its successor, the Land Rover Defender, in 2016, the Niva has emerged as the longest-running off-road light vehicle produced in its original form.
