Vitaly Lazarevich Ginzburg (born October 4, 1916) is a theoretical physicist and astrophisicist, a member of the Academy of Sciences of the former Soviet Union, and the successor to Igor Tamm as head of the Academy's physics institute (FIAN). He received his Doctor's degree from the University of Moscow. Among his achievements are a partially phenomenological theory of superconductivity, developed with Landau, the theory of electromagnetic wave propagation in plasmas such as the ionosphere, and a theory of the origin of cosmic radiation. He is currently (as of October 2003) at the P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute in Moscow, Russia.

He was the co-recipient of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics, together with Alexei Alexeevich Abrikosov and Anthony James Leggett.
