The Sasha class is the NATO reporting name for a class of minesweepers built for the Soviet Navy between 1954 and 1956.

The Soviet designation was Project 265.

The ships were steel-hulled coastal minesweepers and were to replace wartime T301-class coastal sweepers.

Following trials the bow shape was changed to improve sea-keeping and more advanced electronics and sweeps were introduced throughout the service lives of these ships.

At total of 37 ships were built at Rybinsk.
