Nikolay Mikhailovich Kharitonov^[a] (Russian: Николай Михайлович Харитонов; born 30 October 1948) is a Russian communist politician who has served in the State Duma since 1994, and as Chairman of the Committee on the Development of Far Eastern and Arctic regions since 2011. Kharitonov was the Communist Party of the Russian Federation's candidate for the 2004 Russian presidential election and for the 2024 Russian presidential election, but was defeated in both by the incumbent president Vladimir Putin.

Kharitonov was previously a member of the Agrarian Party until he quit in protest of their cooperation with the ruling United Russia party. He is best known for his unsuccessful bid to unseat incumbent President Vladimir Putin in the 2004 presidential election, and came in second place. He ran for president again in the 2024 election, and lost again to Putin.^[1][2][3]
