The Moskvitch 400/420 was a car from Soviet manufacturer Moskvitch introduced in 1947.

It was largely based on the pre-war Opel Kadett. A test model "model 10" was first made, but apparently Josef Stalin disliked the headlight design, the fact that it only had two doors, and some other details – so the car was redesigned.

Production ended in 1956, by which time the design was somewhat outdated.
