Pyotr Yershov (Russian: Пётр Павлович Ершов, Polish: Piotr Jerszow) was a Russian poet, the author of the famous fairy-tale poem The Humpbacked Horse (konyok-gorbunok). Yershov published many lyrical verses, a drama called Suvorov and a Station Master, and several short stories, but none of these had the same success as The Humpbacked Horse.
