Soyuz MS-28, Russian production No. 759 and identified by NASA as Soyuz 74S, is a planned Russian crewed Soyuz spaceflight to launch from Site 31/6 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome no earlier than 27 November 2025 to the International Space Station.

The mission was slated to be the first to launch after the termination of a NASA/Roscosmos barter agreement, where one Russian cosmonaut flies on a NASA spacecraft in exchange for one NASA astronaut flying on a Soyuz. Consequently, {{As of|2024|lc=y}}, this mission was scheduled to transport three Russian cosmonauts. However, NASA and Roscosmos were negotiating to extend their seat exchange program beyond 2025,{{Cite report |url=https://oig.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/ig-24-020.pdf |title=NASA's Management of Risks to Sustaining ISS Operations through 2030 |date=26 September 2024 |publisher=NASA Office of Inspector General |page=14 |access-date=2 October 2024}} and in April 2025, NASA announced that Christopher Williams had been assigned to the crew.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-astronaut-chris-williams-assigned-to-first-space-station-mission/ |title=NASA Astronaut Chris Williams Assigned to First Space Station Mission - NASA }}
