The '''Izhora Plateau''' ({{langx|ru|Ижорская возвышенность}}) is an elevated landform on [[Ordovician]] [[limestone]] bedrock in the southwestern part of [[Leningrad Oblast]], between the [[Gulf of Finland]] in the north and the [[Luga River]] in the south. 

Its northern edge is formed by the erosional cliff known as the [[Baltic-Ladoga Klint]]. It is formed by pre-[[Quaternary]] rocks.<ref>Zhdanov, Sergey & Kurilenko, Vitaly. (2017). Quantitative groundwater estimation of Izhora Plateau, Russian Federation using thermodynamic and kinetic methods for carbonate rock interaction in identified karst terrain. [[Carbonates and Evaporites]]. 32. 1-12. {{doi|10.1007/s13146-017-0351-8}} </ref> The highest part of the plateau is the Orekhovaya hill of [[Duderhof Heights]] at 176 m, situated in its extreme northeastern part. The plateau is mostly covered by [[field (agriculture)|agricultural lands]].
