Fiat Izhorsky (also known as Fiat Izhora) was a light armoured car based on the modified Fiat 50 HP chassis produced in 1917—1918 by the Izhora Plants, Saint Petersburg, Russia. These armoured cars were widely used by the Red Army.
The vehicle exhibited before the Central Museum of the Contemporary History of Russia is not an original armoured car, but a replica built in 1967.
