Oleg Kharitonov (born November 25, 1967) is a Russian stage and screen actor and vocalist, best known for his long-running lead role as Fedor Tumanov in the popular detective series Pautina (The Web), which spanned eleven seasons.

His filmography includes a variety of roles in series and films such as Talisman lyubvi (2005), V kruge pervom (2006), and Moy papa lyotchik (2013).
