Ivan Alekseyevich Vladimirov, also John Wladimiroff (Russian: Ива́н Алексе́евич Влади́миров) (10 January 1870 [O.S. 29 December 1869] – 14 December 1947) was a Russian artist: painter and graphic artist. During the wars of 1904–1916, he became known as a war artist ("batalist"). Afterwards, his reputation has become controversial. In the Soviet Union, he was known for paintings that glorified the October Revolution. However, in the West and in Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, he has become known for harshly critical imagery of the aftermath of the Revolution.
