Viy is a horror story by the Russian-Ukrainian writer Nikolai Gogol, first published in the first volume of his collection of tales entitled Mirgorod (1835).

In 1967 the short story was adapted by Georgi Kropachyov and Konstantin Yershov into the film Viy.

The story was also the basis of Mario Bava's film La maschera del demonio.
