Evgeny Bagrationovich Vakhtangov (1883–1922), also spelled Yevgeny Vakhtangov, was associated with the State Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS) in Moscow in the early 20th century. Directed many productions including his last work, S. Ansky's "The Dybbuk" for the Habimah theater troupe in 1922.

Vakhtangov was a leading student of Stanislavski. On the web page from Actors Studio, Lee Strasberg is quoted as saying, "If you examine the work of the Stanislavski System as made use of by Stanislavski, you see one result. If you examine it in the work of one of his great pupils, Vakhtangov—who influenced our thinking and activity—you will see a completely different result. Vakhtangov's work was skillfully done, his use of the Method even more brilliant and more imaginative that Stanislavski’s, and yet Vakhtangov achieved totally different results."
