The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-8 () was a Soviet experimental aircraft of 1945. Nicknamed Utka ("duck"), it was a propeller-driven design of an unusual canard configuration, powered by a Shvetsov M-11 engine with a pusher propeller.

The aircraft was used as a testbed in developing the swept wing of the MiG-15, and afterwards continued to fly as communication/utility aircraft for the OKB.

Being made of wood and fabric, it was very light and reportedly a favorite among MiG OKB test pilots for its docile slow-speed handling characteristics.
