Tsarevich (, ) was a title given to the sons of tsars. The female equivalent was tsarevna.

Under the 1797 Pauline house laws, the title was discontinued and replaced with tsesarevich for the heir apparent alone. His younger brothers were given the title of veliky knyaz, translated as grand prince or, more commonly, as grand duke.
