Taus Makhacheva (Russian: Таус Османовна Махачева, born August 14, 1983) is a contemporary artist from Russia.

Often humorous, her art considers the resilience of images, objects and bodies emerging out of stories and personal experiences.

Her methodology involves reworking of materials, landscapes and monuments, pushing against walls, opening up ceilings and proliferating institutional spaces with a cacophony of voices.
