Vasily Vasil’yevich Bessel (Russian: Василий Васильевич Бессель April 25 [OS April 13] , 1843 (1842?) St Petersburg – March 1, [OS February 16] 1907, Zurich) was a Russian music publisher.

He was the journal’s publisher and also the sole editor of a weekly St Petersburg magazine “Muzykal’ny listok” [The Musical Leaf] from September 3 1872 to June 5 1877, that appeared on Sundays during the nine-month Russian musical season, from September/October to May/June. The journal’s purpose was to offer an in-depth view of the many aspects of Russian and foreign musical life. Later he published the journal “Muzykal’noye obozrenie” [The musical revue] (1885 - 1888). He also wrote a book; “Notnoe delo” [The Note Matter] , published in 1901.

His brother N. V. Bessel was a co-owner of the firm V. Bessel and Co.
