Evdokia Kozhevnikova-Gugushvili (Georgian: ევდოკია კოჟევნიკოვა-გუგუშვილი; Russian: Евдокия Иннокентьевна Кожевникова-Гугушвили, romanized: Yevdokiya Innokent'yevna Kozhevnikova-Gugushvili; 28 December 1905[a] – 1975) was a Soviet ethnographer who did extensive fieldwork in the province of Svaneti in the Republic of Georgia. During the course of her fieldwork, she acquired considerable fluency in Svan, and produced some 1200 handwritten pages in the language between 1927 and 1936. She never completed her dissertation, and her unpublished work remained almost entirely unknown to the academic world until her records were rediscovered in the 2010s. Since then, researchers at the Georgian National Museum as well as some foreign anthropologists have begun to catalog, translate, and analyse several hundred pages from Kozhevnikova's archives. In 2023, the Georgian National Museum published a compilation of papers about Kozhevnikova and her work, entitled Dina Kozhevnikova: Ethnographical Records.
