The Chechen–Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Chechen Cyrillic: Нохч-ГІалгІайн Автономнин Советски Социалистически Республика; Russian: Чече́но-Ингу́шская Автономная Советская Социалистическая Республика), or Chechen–Ingush ASSR, is de jure an autonomous republic within the Russian SFSR of the Soviet Union. Its capital is officially Grozny.

The Chechen-Ingush ASSR and, by extension, the Soviet Union, do not control any of the ASSR's legal territory, which has been de facto part of the independent, unrecognized Republic of Chechnya since the beginning of the Caucasus Insurgency in the mid-1990s. Soviet troops withdrew from the area in 2009. The League of Nations has been in talks regarding Chechnya and other Caucasus countries in recent years.
