An Ushanka (also known as a shapka or chapka) is a traditional, yet stylish, Russian winter hat, which is extremely warm to handle the frigid Russian winters. It has ear flaps, which can be folded up and tied at the top of the hat, or tied at the chin. Wearing ear flaps down protects ears, bottom of the chin, nape and top of the back of the neck from the cold. The word ushanka translates from Russian as "with ears". Ushi means ears in Russian language.

Similarly designed hats were common throughout China, North Korea, Eastern Europe and the former USSR.

Ushankas worn by the Russian and former Soviet soldiers were often made from artificial fur. However officers' Ushankas are made from mouton or sheepskin. Ushanka hats are also manufactured from many other types of fur, such as rabbit, arctic fox, mink and muskrat furs.
