Lilya Yuryevna Brik (Russian: Лиля Юрьевна Брик; née Lili Yuryevna Kagan; 11 November [O.S. 30 October] 1891 – 4 August 1978) was a Russian author and socialite, connected to many leading figures in the Russian avant-garde between 1914 and 1930. She was the lover and muse of Vladimir Mayakovsky, even while she was married to poet, editor and literary critic Osip Brik (1888–1945). Pablo Neruda called Lilya the "muse of Russian avant-garde". Her name was frequently abbreviated by her contemporaries as "Л.Ю." or "Л.Ю.Б." which are the first letters of the Russian word lyubov (любовь, 'love').
