Mikhail Vasilyevich Shuleikin (Михаил Васильевич Шулейкин; 21 October 1884 - 7 July 1939) was a Soviet scientist in the field of Radio-frequency engineering, professor, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

Biography
He was born in 1884 in Moscow, the son of a merchant - the owner of a wallpaper factory and two stores.

In 1908 he graduated from the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute, received a diploma of an electrical engineer and was left at the institute as a junior laboratory assistant of an electromachine laboratory for specialization in radio engineering. From 1908 to 1909 he served in the Army.

From 1914 to 1918 he taught at the Petrograd Polytechnic Institute, taught courses: "collector motors", "radiotelegraph generators" and directed the diploma design of radio telegraph stations and high frequency machines.
