Public Joint-Stock Company – Likhachov Plant (OJSC AMO ZiL; Russian: Публичное акционерное общество – Завод имени Лихачёва, romanized: Publichnoye aktsionernoye obshchestvo – Zavod imeni Likhachyova), commonly known as ZiL (ЗиЛ), was an automobile manufacturer based in Danilovsky District of Moscow, Russia from 1916 to 2012. It is best known for producing limousines used by the elite of the Soviet Union.

ZiL was founded on 2 August 1916 as the Moscow Automotive Society (AMO).
From 1929 to 1931, the ZiL factory was re-equipped and expanded with the help of the American company A.J. Brandt Co., and changed its name to Automotive Factory No. 2 Zavod Imeni Stalina (ZiS).

In 1956, during the De-Stalinization period, the factory's name was changed again to Zavod imeni Likhachyova ("Factory named after Likhachev") after its former director Ivan Likhachev.
