Vasili Grigorjevitsj Zajtsev (Russisch: Василий Григорьевич Зайцев, Vasili Grigorjevitsj Zajtsev) (Jelino, 23 maart, 1915 - Kiev, 15 december 1991) was een Sovjet-Russische scherpschutter tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog die tussen 10 november en 17 december 1942 in de Slag om Stalingrad 225 soldaten en officieren van de Wehrmacht om het leven bracht. Hij werd hiervoor onderscheiden als Held van de Sovjet-Unie. In de film Enemy at the Gates wordt het verhaal om de Slag om Stalingrad verteld met Zajtsev als hoofdpersonage. De rol van Zajtsev wordt vertolkt door Jude Law. Zijn beroemde scherpschuttersgeweer, een Mosin-Nagant 91/30, ligt tentoongesteld in het Russisch Historisch Museum in Wolgograd.
