Ambassadors of New Zealand to the Soviet Union

The Ambassador from New Zealand to the Soviet Union was New Zealand's foremost diplomatic representative in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and in charge of New Zealand's diplomatic mission in the USSR.

The embassy was located in Moscow, the Soviet Union's capital city. New Zealand first posted a resident ambassador to the Soviet Union in 1974, and a resident Head of Mission in 1944.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, at the end of 1991, the diplomatic mission and staff to the Soviet Union transformed into one to the Russian Federation.
