Fyodor Fyodorovich Kokoshkin Russian: Фёдор Фёдорович Кокошкин; 1 May 1775, Moscow, Russian Empire — 21 September 1838, Moscow) was a Russian dramatist and playwright, Moscow government official and theatre entrepreneur, the first director of the Moscow troupe of the Imperial Theatres, in 1823—1831. A staunch champion of classicism in Russian literature, he favoured 'artiness' which many of his contemporaries ridiculed as lifeless pomposity, and was one of the major detractors of Alexander Griboyedov and his Woe from Wit.
