Vladimir Grigorievitch Benediktov (Russian: ВладимирГригорьевичБенедиктов, November 17th 1807 - April 26th 1873, born and deceased with Saint-Pétersbourg) was poet and Russian translator.

Benediktov, officer of body of guard, then a long time civil servant of the Ministry of finances, entered the literature in 1835 with a collection of the romantic worms ultra , and appeared, in spite of him, like rival of Pouchkine. The author glorifiait the beauty of woman, the balls, the pleasures of the war, the romantic landscapes with a metaphorical style or sometimes it misses the taste. The collection and successive works of Benediktov had an enormous success, which knew a fast decline after 1840, under the influence of Vissarion Belinsky.

In the years 1850 and 1860, Benediktov publishes the new ones towards which exploit the political set of themes and reformist, it fades Napoleon III, greets reform them Alexandre II of Russia and the new generation, satyrise the retrograde ones. Nevertheless it always contributes to the lyric poetry, which becomes less extravagant but more philosophical than before.

Benediktov translated French, German and especially Polish poetry successfully (almost all the corpus of Mickiewicz). Its Russian versions of Victor Hugo, Théophile Gautier and Auguste Barbier correspond very well to their metaphorical style, whose Benediktov was only one (or almost) representative in the Russian literature of the time.
