Boris Lvovich Gutnikov (Vitebsk, 4 July 1931 - Leningrad, 6 April 1986) was a Soviet violinist, born in the Belorussian SSR.
He won the 1957 Long-Thibaud Competition and, most notably, the 1962 International Tchaikovsky Competition ex-aequo with Shmuel Ashkenasi. He had been appointed a teacher at the Leningrad Conservatory soon before.
