Vladimir Ippolitovich Lipsky or Volodymyr Ipolytovych Lypsky (Russian: Владимир Ипполитович Липский; Ukrainian: Володимир Іполитович Липський; 11 March 1863 – 24 February 1937) was a Ukrainian scientist, botanist; a member of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (in 1922—1928, its President) and corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and the Director of the Botanical Gardens of the Odessa University.
Vladimir was born on 11 March 1863 in the village of Samostrely (now Korets Raion of Rivne Oblast). His father, grandfather and great grandfather were clergymen.
The Lipsky family moved to Zhitomir in 1873. Vladimir studied at the Zhitomir Upper Secondary School; he graduated from Pavel Galagan Collegium (magna cum laude) in 1881, and Kiev University in 1887. The formation of Vladimir Lipsky as a scientist was considerably influenced by Johannes Schmalhausen, who headed the Chair of Plant Taxonomy and Morphology.
From 1887 to 1894 Vladimir Lipsky worked with the Botanical Garden of Kiev University first as conservator, then as assistant at the Chair of Botanics.
He took part in scientific expeditions to the Caucasus and Northern Iran from 1889.
Between 1894 and 1917, Lipsky worked with the Saint Petersburg Botanical Garden as Junior and Senior Conservator of the herbarium, Chief Botanist, and eventually Head of the Living Plants Department.
