Ivanov (Russian: Иванов: драма в четырёх действиях (Ivanov: drama in four acts)) is a four-act drama by the Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. Ivanov was first performed in 1887 when Fiodor Korsh owner of the Korsh Theatre in Moscow commissioned Chekhov to write a comedy. Chekhov however responded with a four-act drama which he wrote in ten days. Despite the success of its first performance the production disgusted Chekhov himself.
