The Cyrillic Projector is a sculpture created by American artist James Sanborn in the early 1990s, and was purchased by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1997. It is currently installed between the campus's Friday and Fretwell Buildings.

The encrypted sculpture is connected to the famous Kryptos sculpture at CIA headquarters. The text from Kryptos is duplicated on another of Sanborn's sculptures, Antipodes, which has two sides -- one with the Latin alphabet and one with the Cyrillic alphabet. The Latin side is similar to Kryptos. The Cyrillic side is similar to the Cyrillic Projector.

The puzzle was solved in 2003 by an international team organized by Elonka Dunin, with independent discoveries of the cryptographic portion made by Frank Corr and Mike Bales.
