Nekrasov Cossacks, Nekrasovite Cossacks, Nekrasovites, Nekrasovtsy (Russian: , Некрасовцы, Некрасовские казаки, Казаки-некрасовцы) are descendants of Don Cossacks which, after the defeat of the Bulavin Rebellion fled to Kuban (in September 1708), headed by Ignat Nekrasov, hence the name. Kuban was under the Crimean Khanate at these times. Later they were joined by other fugitives from Don and Russian serfs.

Initially Nekrasovites settled by the right bank of Bolshaya Laba River, near its mouth.

Nekrasovites continued to raid and agitate the adjacent Russian lands, including Don area, and reciprocatively, they were raided by Russian forces. As a result of this agitation, until 1737 several hundreds of thousands of fugitives from Southern Russia run to Kuban, with a significant amount joining Nekrasovites.

About 1737 the activity of Necrasovites faded, and historians assume that this was the year of the death of Nekrasov. Soon afterwards the Nekrasovite community started to disintegrate and resettle to the Ottoman Empire, see Cossacks in Turkey.
