The Chivruay Pass incident (Russian: Чивруайская трагедия - Chivruay tragedy) is the death of ten ski hikers in the Lovozero Massif in the Soviet Union between 27 and 28 January 1973. The trekking group, who were all from the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute, had established a camp on the slopes of Lovozero Massif in an area of Chivruay Pass.

After the group's bodies were discovered, an investigation by Soviet Union authorities determined that all ten had died from hypothermia.
