The Goblin is a compact concealable folding submachine gun prototype developed in the 1990s by the KB-ST design bureau in Kiev, Ukraine. It was a derivative of the unsuccessful Russian PP-90, itself a copy of the American Ares FMG prototype from 1986. The Goblin was never produced.

Notable differences from the PP-90 include a folding rear sight mounted on the stock arm, and a very short foregrip.
