Icebreaker Sadko was a Russian icebreaker ship of 3,800 tonnes displacement. She was named after Sadko, a hero of a Russian bylina.

She was built in Newcastle upon Tyne (Great Britain) in 1912. The length of the ship was 78 m and its width - 11,4 m. In 1916, she sank in Kandalaksha Bay with a payload for the construction of the Kandalaksha-Murmansk railroad. In 1932 Sadko was salvaged by the EPRON team, and on July 9, 1934 was on a trial voyage once again. In 1935-1938 she took part in three expeditions of the deep-sea research in the Arctic Ocean, led by Georgy Ushakov. She sank in 1941 in the Kara Sea.
