{{Short description|Russian physicist (1921–1996)}}
Boris Konstantinovich Vainshtein (Russian: Бори́с Константи́нович Вайнште́йн, 10 July 1921 – 28 October 1996) was a Russian crystallographer. He headed the Laboratory of Protein Crystallography of the Shubnikov Institute of Crystallography RAS, and was the director of the institute, where he spent the majority of his career.{{Cite web |title=Boris Konstantinovich Vainshtein (1921-1996) |url=https://www.iucr.org/people/crystallographers/boris-konstantinovich-vainshtein-1921-1996 |access-date=2022-04-20 |website=www.iucr.org}}{{Citation |last=Mackay |first=Alan L. |title=The Development of Electron Crystallography — in memory of Boris Konstantinovich Vainshtein (1921–1996) |date=1997 |url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-94-015-8971-0_1 |work=Electron Crystallography |pages=1–14 |editor-last=Dorset |editor-first=Douglas L. |place=Dordrecht |publisher=Springer Netherlands |doi=10.1007/978-94-015-8971-0_1 |isbn=978-90-481-4965-0 |access-date=2022-04-20 |editor2-last=Hovmöller |editor2-first=Sven |editor3-last=Zou |editor3-first=Xiaodong}}
Vainshtein studied at the Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Institute of Steel.
In 1990 Vainshtein won the second IUCr Ewald Prize "for his contributions to the development of theories and methods of structure analysis by electron and X-ray diffraction and for his applications of his theories to structural investigations of polymers, liquid crystals, peptides and proteins".[https://www.iucr.org/people/ewald-prize/ewald02 Second Ewald Prize]
