Ilya Valeryevich Kormiltsev (Russian: Илья́ Вале́рьевич Корми́льцев; September 26, 1959 – February 4, 2007) was a Russian poet, translator, and publisher.

He was also a prominent literary translator and publisher. Since 1997, he translated into Russian many important pieces of modern prose, such as Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club, or Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting. In 2003, he established Ultra.Kultura publishing house, which immediately gained a scandalous reputation and was closed by the authorities in 2007. Through its brief history, Ultra.Kultura published numerous counter-culture books in a wide range from ultra-right to radical left authors.
