Redut (Russian: ЧВК «Редут», romanized: ChVK «Redut»), also known as Redoubt, Redut-Antiterror or Centre R, formerly known as "Shield", is a Russian Private Military Company (PMC) that is a part of the "Antiterror-family" — which consists of similarly named PMCs that protect commercial operations of Russian companies. It is currently deployed by Russia in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to an RFE/RL investigation, "Redut" is fully controlled and managed by GRU.

It was established in 2008, as a merger of several minor veteran groupings of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Russian Air Force and units of the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD), who had obtained combat experience in military and peacekeeping missions.

Members of the group have been convicted of committing war crimes during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
