Afanasy Grigorievich Grigoriev (Russian: Афанасий Григорьевич Григорьев) (January 21 1782 – May 13 1868) was a Russian Neoclassical architect who worked in Moscow and its suburbs. Grigoriev is remembered for his refined Empire style mansions completion of Great Ascension Church (which unfinished housed the wedding of Alexander Pushkin in 1831) and assistance to Domenico Giliardi in rebuilding Moscow after the Great Fire of 1812.
