Alexander Pavlovich Chudakov (Russian: Алекса́ндр Па́влович Чудако́в; February 2, 1938, Shchuchinsk – October 3, 2005, Moscow) was a Russian philologist and writer, known primarily for his studies of Chekhov. His wife was Marietta Chudakova.

Chudakov prepared (with his own detailed comments) authoritative collections of works by Viktor Shklovsky, Yuri Tynyanov, and other Russian formalists. His autobiographical novel A Gloom is Cast Upon the Ancient Steps was awarded the Russian Booker Prize of the decade in 2011.[1]

Tragically, in an ironic twist given the novel's title, Chudakov slipped and fell on an unlit staircase, sustaining a fatal head injury.[2]
