Adelaida Gertsyk (Russian: Аделаида Казимировна Герцык, 16 February 1874 – 25 June 1925) was a Russian translator, poet and writer of the Silver Age. Her literary salons of the 19th and early 20th century brought many of the poets of the age together. Almost forgotten after her lifetime, scholarship renewed on Gertsyk at the end of the Soviet era and she is now deemed one of the significant poets of her age.
