Louis Alexander Novikoff (October 12, 1915 – September 30, 1970), nicknamed "the Mad Russian", was an American professional baseball outfielder. He played in all or parts of five seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Chicago Cubs (1941–44) and Philadelphia Phillies (1946).
Novikoff played fastpitch softball before making his professional baseball debut in Minor League Baseball in 1937. The Cubs promoted him to the major leagues in 1941 but sent him back to the minor leagues for the 1945 season. After playing for the Phillies in 1946, he returned to the minor leagues until 1950, when he resumed playing softball. After his career, Novikoff was inducted into the International Softball Congress Hall of Fame and the Pacific Coast League Hall of Fame.
