Iosif Grigor'evich Alliluyev (Russian: Ио́сиф Григо́рьевич Аллилу́ев; 22 May 1945 – 2 November 2008) was a Russian cardiologist and a grandson of Joseph Stalin.

In 1967, he was living in Moscow with his wife Yelena while studying to be a doctor. During this time, he was also serving his military service.[1]

Alliluyev died on 2 November 2008.[2]

He is portrayed briefly as a 6-year-old in HBO's 1992 film Stalin.
