Nicolas Bokov (born Боков, Николай Константинович, 7 July 1945 – 2 December 2019) was a Russian writer, who emigrated to France in 1975.
He published numerous books criticizing the Soviet government written under a pseudonym, which were sold in Western Europe.
He began to travel throughout the world, residing briefly in the United States, Europe, Greece, and Israel.
In 1988, Bokov returned to France, and began practicing asceticism, residing in the streets of Paris rather than living in a permanent home.
He returned to writing in 1998, with the book Dans la rue, à Paris, which was prefaced by Abbé Pierre.
