Andrei Ivanovich Stakenschneider (also spelled Stuckenschneider; Russian: Андрей Иванович Штакеншнейдер, romanized: Andrey Ivanovich Shtakenshneyder; 6 March [O.S. 22 February] 1802 – 20 August [O.S. 8 August] 1865) was a Russian architect. His eclectic approach and competence in period styles is manifest in ten palaces built to his design in St. Petersburg. He is often credited for turning Russian architecture from Neoclassicism to Romanticism.
