Ligovo (), known as Uritsk in Soviet times, is a historical area of the federal city of Saint Petersburg (Russia). It is located in the southern part of the city on the road leading to Petergof.
A settlement of east Slavs existed on the site of modern Ligovo from the 8th-9th centuries. Since then, Ligovo has been a court manor, an exemplary farm, a town, and a battleground during World War II. It is a suburb of Saint Petersburg, mainly composed of 1960s buildings. It is part of Uritsk Municipal Okrug, Krasnoselsky District.
