Vasiliy Sergeyevich Kulik (Russian: Василий Серге́евич Кулик; 17 January 1956 – 26 June 1989) was a Soviet serial killer convicted for the killing of 13 people and nearly 30 rapes in Irkutsk between 1984 and 1986.

Originally a serial rapist, Kulik was a violent paedophile and gerontophile that targeted children and elderly women in Irkutsk over a two-year period. Using various methods, he began to murder his victims until his arrest after a failed attack, where he was convicted and sentenced to death.

Kulik was executed by firing squad in 1989.
