Georgy Nikolayevich Babakin (Russian: Гео́ргий Никола́евич Баба́кин; 13 November 1914 – 3 August 1971) was a Soviet engineer working in the space program.

From 1943 to 1949, Babakin worked on radar targeting systems at the Institute of Automation (VSNITO), where he became its chief engineer.

Babakin became involved in the Soviet space program in 1949, working in Boris Chertok's division of NII-88 on surface-to-air missiles and targeting systems.

His bureau continued with a series of impressive successes, the first Lunar rovers, landings on Venus and robotic sample return of Moon rocks.

A research division of NPO Lavochkin is named after Babakin, and the firm continues to design and build spacecraft.
