Kazanka refers to one of several models of motorboat once produced by the Gorbunov airplane factory (Авиационное ПО им. С. П. Горбунова) in Kazan. Production at the Gorbunov factory started in 1955, with the original Kazanka motorboat. Later models included the Kazanka-2, Kazanka-5, and Kazanka-M.

The class is named for the Kazanka River, which empties into the Volga at Kazan.

Kazanka motorboats are currently produced in Kazan by the Kazan Shipyard (Казанский судостроительный завод).
