Evgeny Alexandrovich Tikhmenev (Russian: Евгений Александрович Тихменев) was a Russian artist of the late 19th century and the first third of the 20th century. He is known as a painter, graphic artist who worked in the animalistic genre, as well as an illustrator.

Evgeny Tikhmenev, who belonged to an old noble family, was seriously interested in hunting, so he was particularly successful in hunting scenes, which dominated the work of the artist. After the 1917 revolution, the artist was mainly engaged in illustrating children's books. He also worked as a designer, and shortly before his death he created a number of battle paintings using his skills as an animalist.
