Filosofov
Filosofov is a Russian surname of two possible origins. One is the Russian noble allegedly deriving its lineage from a 10th century Marko Philosoph. Another suggestion is that it may be an artificial Russian surname originated in clergy given to a diligent theological student, from φιλόσοφος, "wisdom lover".

- Anna Filosofova, Russian feminist and activist
- Dmitry Filosofov, Russian author, literary critic, newspaper editor and political activist
