Kosmos 1792 was a Soviet reconnaissance satellite which was launched in 1986. A Yantar-4K2 satellite, it operated for almost two months before being deorbited and recovered.

In addition to the main spacecraft, two separable film capsules were also returned during the satellite's mission. The satellite had a mass of approximately 7,000 kilograms (15,000 lb).
