Tu-144 (ros. Ту-144) – radziecki naddźwiękowy samolot pasażerski skonstruowany przez biuro konstrukcyjne Andrieja Nikołajewicza Tupolewa.Na Zachodzie samolot nazwano Konkordskij z powodu podobieństwa tego samolotu do Concorda. Rosyjska telewizja TV6 sugerowała, że nazwa ta pochodzi od Concorde'a i nazwiska „radzieckiego konstruktora helikopterów”, Igora Sikorskiego. Tu-144 uległ dwóm katastrofom.
