Constantin Gurdgiev (Russian: Константин Гурджиев, Konstantin Gurdzhiyev; born 1970) is a Russian economist based in Dublin, Ireland. He is a former editor of Business & Finance Magazine and a regular panelist on Tonight with Vincent Browne on TV3.

On November 2013, Gurdgiev gave a TedX talk on Human Capital that widely received as one of the most fascinating outlooks on the future of employment and the 'gig-economy'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1sueM_jhSk. A synopsis of the talk: Constantin feels that global economy is shifting toward more human capital-intensive growth, driven by changing nature of entrepreneurship, creativity, and altering the relationship between risk taking, risk management and returns to labour. In this age of what he calls Human Capital, existent systems of political power distribution, taxation and public services will undergo a revolutionary transformation, presenting a major challenge to the advanced economies and their social democracies.

Gurdgiev identifies as a libertarian.

Gurdgiev was born in Moscow in 1970. He holds a PhD in Macroeconomics and Finance from Trinity College, Dublin, an MA in Economics from Johns Hopkins University and an MA in Pure Mathematics from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Gurdgiev is a Professor of Finance (Visiting) at Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. He is also an adjunct lecturer in Finance with Trinity College, Dublin and has lectured in Economics at University College Dublin and Johns Hopkins University In September 2006, he became the editor of Business & Finance Magazine. He left the post in March 2008, and joined NCB Stockbrokers, but continued at the magazine as an editorial advisor and contributor.
