Prince Grigory Vasilyevich Kugushev (Russian: Григорий Васильевич Кугушев, 17 March 1824, – 3 October 1871) was a Russian writer, poet and playwright whose comedies (including Goluboi Kapot, Blue Hood; Pari, The Bet; Priyomysh, Foster) had great (if not very lasting) success in the Russian Imperial Theatres in 1850s. More substantial and critically acclaimed were Kugushev's works of fiction, notably Kornet Otletayev (Корнет Отлетаев, a three-part novella, first published by Russky Vestnik in 1856) and the four-part novel Postoronneye Vliyaniye (Постороннее влияние, 1858—1859). He also wrote the libretto for the epic drama opera Mazeppa (1859) by Baron Boris Fitinhof-Schell.
