Nailya Vagif kyzy Asker-zade is a Russian journalist and television presenter of Azerbaijani descent. She works for the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company.
In 2019, the Anti-Corruption Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, published an investigation into Asker-zade's finances, alleging her use of a US$60 million private jet and a US$62 million yacht. Asker-zade responded on Instagram by thanking the foundation for its "native advertising".
The United Kingdom and Canada sanctioned Asker-zade for her work with the VGTRK after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
