Peresvet (Russian: Пересвет) is a Ropucha-class landing ship of the Russian Navy and part of the Pacific Fleet.

Named after the semi-legendary hero of the Battle of Kulikovo Alexander Peresvet, the ship was built in Poland. She was named BDK-11 (Russian: БДК-11) for Russian: Большой десантный корабль, romanized: Bolshoy desantnyi korabl', lit.'large landing ship', from her construction until being renamed Peresvet in 2006. She is one of the subtype of the Ropucha-class landing ships, designated Project 775/III or Project 775M by the Russian Navy.
