The 1st Guards Kirovograd–Berlin Red Banner Order of Suvorov and Order of Kutuzov Assault Aviation Corps (1st GvShAK) was a military formation of the Soviet Air Forces during World War II and the early postwar period. Formed from elite units of the Red Air Force, the corps played a significant role in ground-attack operations on the Eastern Front, primarily operating the Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik close-support aircraft.

In 1949, the unit was reorganized and renamed the 60th Guards Assault Aviation Corps, continuing its service until its disbandment in 1956.
