Serge F. Kovaleski (born April 8, 1961) is an American investigative reporter at The New York Times. He contributed to reporting that won The New York Times a Pulitzer Prize for its investigation of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal.
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Kovaleski spent his early childhood in Sydney, Australia, until his family moved to New York City in the 1970s.
He graduated in 1984 from the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, with a degree in philosophy. After receiving his bachelor's degree, Kovaleski studied French philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris. His travels through Europe before the fall of the Berlin Wall inspired him to become a journalist.
Kovaleski began his journalism career in the mid-1980s at the Miami News. He then worked for the New York Daily News, The Washington Post, and Money magazine. He joined the New York Times in July 2006 as an investigative and general assignment reporter on the Metro desk.

In 2009, Kovaleski received a Pulitzer Prize for "Breaking News Reporting."
In 2016, he and Nicholas Kulish, Christopher Drew, Mark Mazzetti, Matthew Rosenberg, Sean D. Naylor and John Ismay received a George Polk Award for their investigation into allegations that members of the U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six abused Afghan detainees.
