HC Lada Togliatti (Russian: ХК Лада) is a Russian professional ice hockey team based in Tolyatti, Russia. They play in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).

Togliatti were participants in the inaugural season of the KHL in 2008–09. Due to a lack of a satisfactory arena, the KHL expelled the team and the team dropped one level to the Supreme Hockey League (VHL) for the 2010–11 season. They were allowed to rejoin the KHL for the 2014–15 season after the opening of the Lada Arena. However, the team was expelled again following the end of the 2017–18 season, and returned to the VHL. The team once again rejoined the KHL for the 2023–24 season.[1][2]
