Igor Yourievitch Bogdanoff (29 August 1949 – 3 January 2022) and Grégoire "Grichka" Yourievitch Bogdanoff (29 August 1949 – 28 December 2021) were French twin brother television presenters, producers, and scientific essayists.

They wrote books on science fiction, popular science, and cosmology. They were very controversial and were part of the Bogdanov affair, in which it was said the brothers wrote physics papers that made no sense and were published in trustworthy scientific journals.
