Kalenyk Vasyliovych Sheikovskyi (Ukrainian: Кале́ник Васи́льович Шейко́вський, 1835–1903, Menzelinsk, Ufa Governorate) was a Ukrainian linguist, ethnographer, publisher, teacher.
Sheikovsky's main work was to be his "Experience of the South Russian Dictionary", which was to oppose dictionaries that contained "angular" words, and be a dictionary of living language in its dialectal diversity, including ethnographic materials, proper names, various dictionary forms. The first issue (A - bull) was published in 1861. Due to the persecution of the Ukrainian press and personal wanderings, as well as the fire that destroyed the collected material, only issue 1 and 2 of volume 5 (T - barn, 1884, 1886) was published.
