The strigolniki (; ) were followers of a Russian religious sect which appeared in the mid-14th century, known as strigolnichestvo (). They first appeared in Pskov before spreading to Novgorod and Tver. By the early 15th century, they had disappeared. Along with the Judaizers, they were one of the major sects in medieval Russia.
