Lazarev Barracks, Military heritage site in Sevastopol, Ukraine.

The Lazarev Barracks stand near Sevastopol Bay and display features of 19th-century military architecture with solid stone construction and defensive design. The complex contains several buildings arranged around courtyards.

The nine buildings were erected in the late 1830s and early 1840s under Admiral M. P. Lazarev, to the design of John Upton, an English engineer in Russian service. They housed six thousand sailors of the fleet squadrons based in Sevastopol's bays. The complex was used during the Crimean War of 1853–1856; a monument to Lazarev by sculptor N. S. Pimenov was unveiled before the main block in 1867. From 1931 to 1942 it held the Sevastopol Naval Coastal Defence School, and since 2000 the main building has housed the Black Sea branch of Moscow State University.

The complex is named after Admiral Mikhail Lazarev, who commissioned it; a monument to him by sculptor Nikolai Pimenov was unveiled in front of the main block in 1867. Memorial plaques on the facades mark the barracks' links with the Black Sea Fleet, and since 2000 the main building has housed the Black Sea branch of Moscow State University.

The complex stands on an elevated plateau on the Korabelnaya Side, at 7 Heroyiv Sevastopolia Street, above the South and Korabelnaya bays. The main building has housed the Black Sea branch of Moscow State University since 2000, so the grounds are in academic use; visitors should check access before arriving. Memorial plaques on the facades mark the site's naval history.

The levelled hilltop that made room for the barracks was not wasted: the excavated soil was dumped into a lake at the end of South Bay, creating the ground now occupied by Sevastopol's railway station.
