Kiev-4M ( = Киев-4M) is a 35mm rangefinder film camera manufactured by Arsenal Factory, in Kiev, Ukraine, former USSR, and produced between 1976-87.

Arsenal factory (= Zavod Arsenal = Завод "Арсенал") is one of the oldest and most famous industrial factories in Soviet Union and later Ukraine. It is well known due to the famous Kiev cameras. The factory mainly specialized in optical components for the Soviet military and space programs. The factory also produced professional-grade photographic cameras but civil production played only a minor role in factory output.

The design of the Kiev-4 is firmly based on that of a classic pre-war German camera Zeiss Contax III. Kiev-4M is the modernized model of Kiev-4. All Kiev-4 produced between 1947-87.
