Alexei Antipovitch Potekhin (1829 - 1908) (Russian: Алексей Антипович Потехин) was a Russian dramatist and novelist.
He was born at Kineshma, in Kostroma, studied at Jaroslav, and settled in Saint Petersburg. As a novelist he is a realist of much the same school as Pisemsky and especially able in his portrayal of dismal village life. His earlier plays were slow in getting to the stage, as they were blocked by the censors for their attacks on present conditions.
