Vladimir Nikolayevich Gusev (Russian: Владимир Николаевич Гусев, born 4 July 1982 in Veliky Novgorod) is a Russian professional road racing cyclist, who most recently rode for UCI ProTeam Astana. Gusev has been a professional since 2004, spending two years each at Team CSC and Discovery Channel before moving to Astana in 2008. On July 25, 2008 team Astana fired Gusev for showing "abnormal" values during an internal doping check.^[1]

At the 2006 Paris-Roubaix, Gusev finished fourth but was later one of three riders disqualified by the race jury for illegally riding though a closed level-crossing.
