Konstantin Veniaminovich Gey (Russian: Константин Вениаминович Гей) (1896 - February 25, 1939) was an early Russian communist party member and a participant in the Russian Revolution of 1917. A member of the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party since 1916, Gey was instrumental in securing Soviet control in the city of Pskov.
Gey was born in St. Petersburg in 1896. He was a candidate member of the Bolshevik Central Committee from 1924 until 1934 and was the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Belarus from 1930 until 1932.
Gey was demoted from the Central Committee in 1934. During the Great Purge, he was arrested in 1938 and executed by shooting in 1939. He was posthumously rehabilitated in 1956.
A street in Pskov bears Gey's name.
