Ilya Masodov (unknown; some sources state 1966) is a modern Russian writer.

According to one theory, Masodov is a pseudonym derived from the names of other Russian writers such as "Ma-" for Mamleev, "-so-" for Sorokin and "-dov" for Radov (or less commonly, for "Dovlatov").

[3] It is also argued that Ilya Masodov is a project of Marusya Klimova or her publisher named Dmitry Volchek.

[3] Some critics found Masodov uses the "pared to the bones" creative approach of Vladislav Krapivin.

[4] Masodov works between two genres, namely "Necrorealism" and "guro"[5] or "vampire horror".
