Konstantin Pushkarev (born February 12, 1985 in Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kazakhstan) is a professional ice hockey player. Pushkarev was drafted in the second round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings, but traded to the Dallas Stars late in the 2006–07 NHL season in the deal involving former Kings captain Mattias Norstrom. He played one game for the Kings in the 2005–06 NHL season and earned an assist; he split the 2006–07 NHL season with the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League and the Kings.

Pushkarev scored his first NHL goal on January 8, 2007, against the Edmonton Oilers. He tied up the game 1–1 at the time; however, Jan Hejda scored in overtime to give the victory to Edmonton.
