Gleb Ivanovich Bokii (???? ???????? ?????, 1879–1937) was an ethnic Ukrainian Communist political activist, revolutionary, and paranormal investigator in the Russian Empire.
Following the October Revolution of 1917, Bokii became a leading member of the Cheka, the Soviet secret police.
From 1921 through 1934, Bokii (alternative transliteration, Boky) headed the "special department" of the Soviet secret police apparatus, believed to have been in charge of the Soviet Union's concentration camp system.
He remained a top level functionary in the secret police apparatus until his sudden arrest in May 1937 as part of the Great Terror.
Following an extended investigation, Bokii was given a summary trial and executed in November of that same year.
In 1956, Bokii was posthumously rehabilitated by Soviet authorities.
