Fedor Ivanovich Kalinin (1882–1920) was a Russian revolutionary.

Fedor was the younger brother of Mikhail Kalinin. He was originally employed as a weaver.[1]: 176  He wrote concerning philosophy with an approach adapted by Alexander Bogdanov in The Philosophy of Living Experience published in 1913.[1]: 176 

Kalinin was secretary to the "Circle of Proletarian Literature" established by the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party in Paris in 1913.[2]

He was elected to the Central Committee of Proletkult in October 1917.[3] Following the Bolshevik decree of 22 November [O.S. 9 November] 1917, the People's Commissariat for Education was established with a Department for the Assistance of Independent Class Educational Organisations. Kalinin was the head of the department, but the chair and two further members of the Department collegium would be directly elected by Proletkult. He was one of the editors of Proletarskaya Kul'tura with Pavel Lebedev-Polianskii.
