Dinamo Volgograd (Russian: Динамо Волгоград) is a Russian women's handball club from Volgograd. Founded in 1972 as Burevestnik Volgograd, it represented Rotor Volgograd following the collapse of the Soviet Union and was subsequently named Aqva before taking its current name in 2003.[1]

Dynamo is the most successful team in the Russian Super League with nine titles, and in the 2001–02 season it set a record winning all the matches.[citation needed] It in international competitions won three titles: the 1995 Challenge Cup and Champions Trophy and the 2008 EHF Cup.[2] In 2000 it became the first Russian team to reach the Champions League's semifinals since the USSR's break-up.[3]

In reaction to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the International Handball Federation banned Russian athletes, and the European Handball Federation suspended the Russian clubs from competing in European handball competitions.[4]
