The Beriev Be-2500 Neptun (Cyrillic: Бериев Бе-2500 Нептун) is a super-heavy amphibian cargo aircraft concept proposed by the Beriev Aircraft Company of Russia. With a maximum takeoff weight of 2500 t (5511556.6 lb), it is the largest aircraft ever proposed. If completed, it would weigh four times more than the largest flying aircraft in the world, the Antonov An-225.

Beriev plans to design the aircraft with the assistance of foreign partners as the expertise and financial commitments required are beyond the capabilities of any one nation. It is estimated that the total research and development cost of the program would range from to .

The company claims that such aircraft will function as "flying ships" that will compete with the maritime shipping and air transport industries and can be readily integrated into existing infrastructure.
