Nikolay Ivanovich Perovsky (Russian: Николай Иванович Перовский; 1785 – 22 April 1858) was an Active State Councillor, Governor of Taurida, Mayor of Feodosia, eldest son of Count Alexey Razumovsky, grandfather of Sophia Perovskaya.

In 1816, by imperial command, he travelled to Amsterdam to countersign private bonds on a Dutch loan, which he did with success.

During this period he became acquainted with Konstantin Batyushkov, who lived at that time in the Crimea and was ill.[3] Perovsky arranged for his medical care, and then with his doctor sent him to Saint Petersburg.

On 30 March 1822, Perovsky was promoted to Active State Councillor, and shortly after that, on 16 October 1823, he was dismissed from the post of Governor of Taurida, while remaining Mayor of Feodosia.

[1] After retiring, Perovsky lived in his estate "Alkadar" in the village of Belbek, Simferopol Uyezd, Taurida Governorate, where he died on 22 April 1858.
