Mikhail Rachyanovich Sagatelyan (Russian: Михаи́л Рачьянович Сагателя́н, Armenian: Միքայել Սաղաթելյան, Mikayel Saghat'elyan; 1927–1994) was a Soviet journalist, author and KGB agent.

[6] His work as a journalist provided Sagatelyan with a cover for his activities as a KGB reserve officer carrying out secret missions and supplying intelligence to the Soviet government.

In his 2009 memoir, former KGB agent Oleg Kalugin recalled that in 1961, Sagatelyan used his Armenian ethnicity to pose as a Turkish journalist in Miami, where they were looking for information from Cuban exiles following the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

Both Sagatelyan and Feklisov had stressed that they were merely expressing their own personal views, and Soviet records indeed show that these men were just fishing for intelligence to send to Moscow.

"[10] The Pentagon Papers indicate that in 1965 an attempt at informal discussions about the situation in Vietnam took place with Sagatelyan and former White House press secretary Pierre Salinger as go-betweens.

[4] Sagatelyan had a writer's credit for the 1972 Soviet TV movie, Washington Correspondent (Вашингтонский корреспондент), which featured a character based loosely on himself.
