Alexey Yurievich Milchakov (Russian: Алексей Юрьевич Мильчаков, born 30 April 1991) is a Russian neo-Nazi, suspected war criminal and co-leader and co-founder of the Rusich Group, that operated from 2022 within the Wagner Group.

Milchakov first came to public attention in 2011, after he filmed himself torturing and decapitating a puppy and posted footage of it online.

He has been linked to atrocities in both Syria and Ukraine, including the participation in beating a man to death with a sledgehammer, and has been described as "the symbol of Russian neo-Nazis fighting in the Donbass".

As of 2022, he was sanctioned by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries.
