Georgi Todorov Rikov (Bulgarian: Георги Тодоров Риков) (14 August 1946 – 28 December 2002) was a Bulgarian linguist and scientist, the editor-in-chief of Orpheus: Journal of Indo-European and Thracian Studies.

Rikov attended Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski", graduating in 1972. From 1977 through 1992, he worked at the Institute for Bulgarian Language of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. From 1992 through 2002, he worked in the department of General, Indo-European and Balkan Languages at Sofia University.

His body of work has been divided into five sections: Indo-European linguistics, with a focus on a present nasal infix in the Heto-Luwian languages called "ultimae laryngalis"; Slavic studies with a focus on ska- etymology; Anatolian languages; Greek; and miscellanea.

Published works

A copy of select papers was published in 2018, funded by a grant from Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski". The articles were compiled from the journals Linquistique Balkanique (ISSN 0324-1653), Orpheus: Journal of Indo-European and Thracian Studies (ISSN 0861-9387), Studia Etymologica Cracoviensia (ISSN 1427-8219), and Studia Indogermanica Lodziensia (ISSN 1506-7254), all with the permission of his sister Reni Rikova. One of the editors of that publication, Professor Biliana Mihaylova of Sofia University's department of General, Indo-European and Balkan Languages, also published a bibliography of Rikov's works dating from 1979 through 2002.

His works have been described to "represent an incalculable wealth and an example of precise work, attention to every little element of language".
