Nikolay Georgievich Rasheyev (Russian: Рашéев Никола́й Геóргиевич; 8 April 1935 – 5 October 2021) was a Soviet and Ukrainian film director and screenwriter.

Pasternak was persecuted by the Soviet government until his death and was forced to decline the Nobel Prize.

Nikolay Rasheyev, like many of his contemporaries, was expelled from the university after being accused of being "a spiritual brother of Pasternak".

After being expelled from the Gerasimov Institute, he made use of his earlier engineering education, working in various jobs in northern and eastern Russia, in Tuva, Sakhalin and Chukotka.

Among his most popular works are Bumbarash and Kings and Cabbage, an adaptation of O. Henry's book of the same name.
