The Tale of Tsar Saltan (Russian: Ска́зка о царе́ Салта́не, romanized: Skazka o tsare Saltanye) is a 1984 Soviet traditionally animated feature film directed by Lev Milchin and Ivan Ivanov-Vano and produced at the Soyuzmultfilm studio.

From his studies at Vkhutemas, education in the traditions of the Russian avant-garde, excellent knowledge of world artistic culture – all this was reflected in his work.

In it, Ivanov-Vano combined everything: love for Russian culture, usage of poetry, knowledge of the profession, and good command of the entire arsenal of animation of that time.

For several decades, its elements, its natural habitat – remained a Russian fairy tale.The Tale of Tsar Saltan was first released on home video in the early 1990s, by film association Krupny Plan.

Several years later, Krupny Plan again issued the film, in a VHS collection that contained other animated adaptations of Pushkin's fairy tales.
