Dmitry Vasilyevich Averkiyev (Russian: Дмитрий Васильевич Аверкиев, (October 12, 1836, in Yekaterinodar, Russian Empire – January 20, 1905, in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire) was a Russian playwright, theatre critic, novelist, publicist and translator. He is the author of the Russian libretto to Rogneda by Alexander Serov.
Averkiyev's best known plays were Frol Skorbeyev (Фрол Скорбеев, 1869) and Old Times in Kashira (Каширская старина, 1872); both continued to be produced into the Soviet times. He was also an acclaimed theatre critic who contributed to Epokha, Moskovskiye Vedomosti, Novoye Vremya and Vsemirnaya Illyustratsiya (where he was the head of the literary section, in 1869–1871).
