Elektronika (Электроника) is a brand name used in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and later in the Commonwealth of Independent States.
It was used for calculators, computers, electronic watches, portable electronic games, and radios that were developed by various factories managed by the Soviet Ministry of the Electronics Industry.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the brand name continued to be used for electronics developed in the former countries of the USSR, including Ukraine and Belarus.
