The '''Lviv Automobile Factory''' ({{langx|uk|Львівський автомобільний завод}}), mostly known under its obsolete name ''Lvivskyi Avtobusnyi Zavod'' ({{langx|uk|Львівський автобусний завод}}, literally ''"Lviv Bus Factory"'') was a [[bus]] manufacturing company in [[Lviv]], [[Ukraine]]. Their [[brand]]-name is '''LAZ''' (ЛАЗ), and the company and its products are often referred to with this acronym rather than the full name.

It was one of the major bus manufacturers in the [[Soviet Union]] and the largest-ever industrial company in the city of [[Lviv]]. The factory was held by a private holding company.
