The Moskvitch 410 is a car which was made by Soviet manufacturer Moskvitch from 1957. The 410 was conceived as a four wheel drive version of the Moskvitch 402.

It was powered by a 35 hp (26 kW) engine, but later upgraded to the 410-H, fitted with a more modern 45 hp (34 kW) unit. An estate called the 411 was also made. In total 12,000 units were made and it was one of the first Soviet cars to be an export success.

The ground clearance was 220 mm (8.7 in), it could cross water up to 0.3 metres (11.8 in) deep, and in first gear it could climb 33 degrees. The early version had a 3x2 speed + 1x2 rear gearbox which in 1960 was replaced by a 4x2 speed + 1x2 rear gearbox.[clarify] The top speed was 90 km/h (56 mph).
