Auktyon (Russian: АукцЫон, pronounced [ɐʊktsɨˈon]. Auktsyon) is a Russian alternative rock band from Saint Petersburg.

The band was founded by Leonid Fyodorov [ru] at the Polytechnic Institute of Leningrad.^[1] Though they originally played post-punk and new wave, the group came to be influenced by European and Central Asian folk music, avant-garde jazz, the poetry of Russian futurist Velimir Khlebnikov, and aspects of Russian high culture and literature.^[1]

Auktyon was particularly popular from 1987 through 1995, but became less active in the late 1990s when Fyodorov began to produce records for Leningrad.^[1] The group continues to play together and to release new albums. They toured the United States in 2006^[2] in support of their first US release, the album Pioneer. The group returned to the US in 2008 when they released the album Girls Sing.^[3][4][5]
