Ivan Vladimirovitch Chtcheglov, (Russian: Иван Владимирович Щеглов) (January 16 1933 - April 21 1998) was a French political theorist, activist and poet, born in Paris of Russian parents.

He wrote Formulaire pour un urbanisme nouveau (Formulary for a New Urbanism) in 1953, at age nineteen under the name Gilles Ivain, which was an inspiration to the Lettrist International and Situationist International. It developed some of the ideas of Charles Fourier. He was influenced in this by the Picatrix.

He tried to deconstruct the Eiffel Tower and was arrested in Paris and committed to a mental hospital by his wife, where he was subdued with insulin and shock therapy, and remained for 5 years.
