Sergey Vasilyevich Aydarov (Russian: Сергей Васильевич Айдаров, born Vishnevsky, Вишневский, 20 October 1867 — 16 August 1938) was a Russian and Soviet stage actor and theatre director, associated with the Moscow's Maly Theatre where he made his debut in 1898.

Aydarov was born in Moscow, then in Imperial Russia.

As a theatre director, Aydarov produced several plays, including Pyotr Gnedich's Before the Dawn (1901), as well as Ostrovsky's Vasilisa Melentyeva (1914) and A Busy Place (1915). In 1925—1930 he was the head of the Maly Theatre Yermolova Studio, later to be reformed into the Yermolova Theatre.[1][2] He died in Moscow.
