Nikolay Gerasimovich Pomyalovsky (23 April [O.S. 11 April] 1835–17 October [O.S. 5 October] 1863) was a Russian writer.
He was born in St. Petersburg to a family of deacon of Orthodox Church. He studied at Alexander Nevsky Theological School (1843-51) and St. Petersburg Theological Seminary (1851-57). The novel Seminary Sketches is a colorful description of his years of this study.
The early death is explained by apathy and alcoholism.
