'''Yevno Fishelevich (Yevgeny Filippovich) Azef'''{{efn|Also transliterated as ''Evno'' Azef.}} ({{langx|ru|Е́вно Фи́шелевич (Евге́ний Фили́ппович) А́зеф}}; 1869–1918) was a Russian [[socialist]] [[revolutionary]] who also operated as a [[double agent]] and [[agent provocateur]]. He worked as both an organiser of [[assassinations]] for the [[Socialist Revolutionary Party]] and a police spy for the [[Okhrana]], the [[Russian Empire]]'s [[secret police]]. He rose through the ranks to become the leader of the Socialist Revolutionary Party's terrorist branch, the [[SR Combat Organization]], from 1904 to 1908.

After the revolutionary [[Vladimir Burtsev]] unmasked his activity in 1909, Azef fled to Germany, where he died in 1918.
