Grigori Petrovitch Maximoff (1893-1950) was a Russian born anarcho-syndicalist who was involved in Nabat, a Ukrainian anarcho-syndicalist movement. Along with several other anarchists, he was imprisoned on 8 March 1921 following a Cheka sweep of anarchists in the area. After a hunger strike attracted the attention of visiting syndicalists, Maximoff was one of the 10 anarchists who were released from prison and deported.

Maximoff wrote a book entitled The Guillotine at Work: Twenty Years of Terror in Russia about the experience of anarchists and syndicalists in the Russian Revolution of 1917.
