Nikolay Andreyevich Tyrsa (9 May 1887 – 10 February 1942) was a Russian painter.

Nikolay Punin admired his work, in 1916 describing it as "organic, powerful and steady art; art, which we have been long waiting for, which we called for – the way to the art of the future.

"[1] From 1905 to 1909, Tyrsa studied under Léon Bakst at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts.

[2] During the siege of Leningrad Tyrsa became seriously ill and was evacuated to Vologda on 29 January 1942.

He died there several days later.
