Igor Vitalyevich Presnyakov (Russian: И́горь Витальевич Преснякóв, IPA: [ˈiɡərʲ vʲɪˈtalʲjɪvʲɪtɕ prʲɪsʲnʲɪˈkof]; Dutch: Igor Vitaljevitsj Presnjakov; born 8 May 1960) is a Russian guitarist. He is best known for his covers of popular music songs.

Born in Moscow, Russia, Igor Presnyakov studied classical music at a nearby academy and would eventually graduate as both a guitarist and a conductor for ensembles. He relocated to the Netherlands to further his career, which has now spanned over 35 years. His unique acoustic guitar-style is influenced by various musical genres from Reggae, Rock and Roll, R&B, Country-western, Jazz and Heavy Metal.

Presnyakov has attracted significant popularity on YouTube since joining the video sharing platform in 2007; his uploads have been viewed more than 500 million times and have attracted more than 2.5 million subscribers.
