Nikolay Petrovich Osipov (Russian: Николай Петрович Осипов) (1751 in Saint Petersburg – 19 May [O.S. 30 May] 1799 in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire), was a Russian writer, poet and translator.
He is best known for his mock-heroic 1791 poem Eneida travestied (Russian: Вирги́лиева Энеи́да, вы́вороченная наизна́нку).
Osipov's Eneida is a parody of Virgil's Aeneid, where the Trojan heroes talk like XVIII century Russians.
Osipov's Eneida (1791) and Kotliarevsky's Eneida (1798)
In 1798 Osipov's Eneida was translated into Ukrainian by Ivan Kotliarevsky
