Yakov Grigor'evich Bukhvostov (Template:Lang-ru) (late 17th century — early 18th century) was a Russian architect, associated with Naryshkin Baroque style. It has been documented that he built four churches (three of them around Moscow and one more in Ryazan), all of them made of red brick and containing rich external white-stone decoration.

The biography of Bukhvostov is largely unknown. He was a serf assigned to the village of Nikolskoe-Sverchkovo close to Dmitrov. He was first mentioned by reliable sources in 1690, when he won a concession to build monk cells in Moiseev Monastery in Moscow (the monastery was later demolished). After completing the cells, Bukhvostov with his people started the construction of walls and towers of the New Jerusalem Monastery in pesent-day Istra. The walls and towers of the monastery bear almost no decoration, which is not typical for Bukhvostov's style.
