Lukhovitsy () is a town and the administrative center of Lukhovitsky District in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Oka River southeast of Moscow. Population:
==History== It was first mentioned in 1594 as the settlement of Glukhovichi (), a votchina of a Ryazan archbishop. It used to be called Lukhovichi () until the mid-1920s. In 1957, it was granted town status. The town grew rapidly after the transfer of testing (and later production) facilities of the Mikoyan design bureau. thumb|left|Monument to Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23|MiG-23 in Lukhovitsy
