Nachalnik Kamchatki (Russian: Начальник Камчатки, lit. 'Chief of Kamchatka') is the third studio album by Soviet rock band Kino. The name of the album is a play on the title of the 1967 Soviet film Chief of Chukotka (Russian: Начальник Чукотки, romanized: Nachalnik Chukotki).

The album was recorded on a multitrack tape recorder in the AnTrop studio. Andrei Tropillo supervised and engineered the recording. Musicians from Aquarium and the AnTrop studio collective played alongside Kino. The album was initially released in 1984 and distributed as magnitizdat.
