Ivan Pavlov (Russian: Академик Иван Павлов, romanized: Akademik Ivan Pavlov) is a 1949 Soviet biopic directed by Grigori Roshal and starring Aleksandr Borisov, Nina Alisova and Nikolai Plotnikov.

The film was made during the Stalinist era, despite the fact that Pavlov had been a noted opponent of the Soviet regime.
