Ivan Nikolaevich Gorozhankin (1848-1904) was a Russian botanist. His early education was in his home town of Voronezh, where he attended secondary school (1858–1865) before being admitted to the Law School at the Imperial Moscow University, before changing his enrollment to the natural sciences in 1871 and graduating with a thesis on Tropaeolaceae. After graduation, he continued working at the university, being appointed to the chair of botany in 1874. He founded the Moscow School of Botanical Morphology.[1]

As Director of the the Lomonosov Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Biology at Imperial Moscow University (1875–1902) he oversaw considerable expansion with new buildings and laboratories. Among his positions was vice president of the Moscow Society of Natural Sciences.[1]

The standard author abbreviation Gorozh. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[2]
