Count Pavel Nikolayevich Ignatiev (sometimes rendered in English as Paul Ignatieff; Russian: Па́вел Никола́евич Игна́тьев; July 12 [O.S. June 30] 1870 – August 12, 1945) was a Russian politician who served as the minister of education during the reign of Nicholas II. He was the son of Count Nikolay Pavlovich Ignatyev, who served as the minister of the Interior under Alexander III. After the October Revolution brought the Bolsheviks into power, Ignatieff fled Russia with his family, ultimately ending up in Canada.
