'''Ivan Timofeevich Kokorev''' ([[Russian language|Russian]] Иван Тимофеевич Кокорев) (September 6, 1825 - June 14, 1853) was a Russian writer.

The son of a freed serf, Kokorev's stories and essays began appearing in the 1840s, but he did not become well known until he began his association with the journal ''[[Moskvityanin]]'' in 1849. His stories "Sibirka" (1847) and "Savvushka" (1852) were successful, but he is best remembered for his essays collected under the title ''Moskva sorokovykh godov'' ('Moscow of the [eighteen] forties'); the collection ''Ocherki i rasskazy'' ('Essays and stories') came out posthumously in 1857. He was considered one of the "Moscow patriots" and inveighed against the introduction of foreign words and customs. [[Apollon Grigoryev]] wrote in his memoirs of "the clearly-talented and likable sketches of the late I. T. Kokorev."<ref>Grigoryev,  ''My Literary and Moral Wanderings'', p. 63.</ref>
