A Matryoshka doll (Russian:матрёшк) or a Russian nested doll is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside another. Matryoshka literally means "little matron" while the Latin root word of Matryoshka is "mater" which means "mother". Matryoshka is associated in Russia with family and fertility. The plural form Matreshki is used when referring to more than one doll and they are also called stacking dolls or Babushka dolls.

A set of matreshki consists of a wooden figure which can be pulled apart to reveal another figure of the same sort inside. It has in turn another figure inside, and so on. The number of nested figures is usually three or more. The shape is mostly cylindrical, rounded at the top for the head and tapered towards the bottom, but little else; the dolls have no hands (except those that are painted). The artistry is in the painting of each doll, which can be extremely elaborate.

Matreshki are often designed to follow a particular theme, for instance peasant girls in traditional dress, but the theme can be almost anything, ranging from fairy tale characters to Soviet leaders.
