The dispersion relation for ion-acoustic waves in plasma with ion flow has been analyzed. It is shown that these waves may exist (under certain conditions) in the form of backward waves with antiparallel group and phase velocities. The range of ion flow velocities allowing implementation of backward ion-acoustic waves is found.
