Askold Ivanovich Vinogradov ( Russian Аскольд Иванович Виноградов ; English transcription Askol'd Ivanovich Vinogradov; * October 1, 1929 , † January 1, 2006 ) was a Russian mathematician who dealt with analytical number theory.

Vinogradov was employed at the Steklov Institute in Saint Petersburg for around 50 years and was a professor. He is one of the namesake with Enrico Bombieri of the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem , an important theorem of analytical number theory. It gives an (averaged) error term for the prime number theorem in arithmetic sequences and was proved by Juri Linnik using the Great Sieve method .
