Lev Petrovich Bulat (Russian: Лев Петрович Булат; 1947–2016) was a Russian physicist.

Bulat was born on April 11, 1947 in Chernovtsy, Ukraine. In 1988, he received a D.Sc in physics and mathematics from Leningrad Polytechnical Institute, with his thesis entitled "Transport Phenomena in Semiconductors under Large Temperature Gradients".

He was an expert in transport properties of semiconductors, physics of nanostructures, thermoelectric phenomena, direct energy conversion, and thermoelectric cooling. He was a professor of electrical and electronic engineering at Saint Petersburg State University.

He died suddenly on June 12, 2016 at age 69, less than two weeks after attending an international conference.
