Boris Alekseyevich Chichibabin (né Polushin; Ukrainian: Борис Олексійович Чичибабін, romanized: Borys Olekisyovych Chychybabin; 9 January 1923 – 15 December 1994) was a Russian-language Ukrainian poet and a laureate of the USSR State Prize (1990), who is typically regarded as one of the Sixtiers.

He lived in Kharkiv, and in the course of three decades became one of the most famous and best-loved members of the artistic intelligentsia of the city, i.e., from the 1950s to 1980s. From the end of the 1950s, his poetry was widely distributed throughout the Soviet Union as samizdat. Official recognition came only at the end of his life in the time of perestroika.
