Nikolay Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky (24 July [O.S. 12 July] 1828 – 29 October [O.S. 17 October] 1889) was a Russian literary and social critic, journalist, novelist, democrat, and socialist philosopher, often identified as a utopian socialist and leading theoretician of Russian nihilism and Narodniks. He was the dominant intellectual figure of the 1860s revolutionary democratic movement in Russia, despite spending much of his later life in exile to Siberia, and was later highly praised by Karl Marx, Georgi Plekhanov, and Vladimir Lenin.

Никола́й Гаври́лович Черныше́вский (12 [24] июля 1828, Саратов, Российская империя — 17 [29] октября 1889, там же) — русский литературный критик, революционер-демократ, теоретик утопического социализма, философ-материалист, публицист и писатель.

Сочинения Николая Чернышевского оказали влияние на творчество и взгляды Владимира Ленина, Эммы Гольдман и некоторых других революционеров и социалистов. К Чернышевскому был близок сербский социалист Светозар Маркович. Положительно о творчестве Чернышевского отзывался Карл Маркс.
