Valéry Ivanovitch Inkijinoff (Russian: Валерий Иванович Инкижинов, romanized: Valery Ivanovich Inkizhinov; 25 March 1895 – 26 September 1973), sometimes known mononymously as Inkijinoff, was a Russian-French actor, director, acting teacher, and theatre practitioner. Born to a Buryat family in Irkutsk, he began his career in Soviet cinema, playing the lead role in Vsevolod Pudovkin's 1928 film Storm Over Asia. He immigrated to France in the 1930s, where he became a favorite villain for exotic adventure and crime films.
