Faddey Subbotin, also known as Faddey Nikitin Subbotin, was a notable Russian composer, singer, and music theorist active during the 17th century. Born before 1640 in the village of Milino in Pacheozersky volost, within the Stroganov estates, he possibly received his musical education at the Church of the Archangel Michael in Pacheozerye. Subbotin served as a choir deacon at the Annunciation Cathedral in Solvychegodsk, where he also worked as a teacher and scribe.

In 1668, he was invited to Moscow to contribute to the Second Commission for the translation of church chants, but his stay lasted less than a year. From 1675, Subbotin was employed in public service as a "master of vernacular singing," a role that likely involved teaching and possibly overseeing the rewriting and editing of choir books. Despite being deprived of his salary from 1681 to 1682, he continued his work until his death, presumed to be around 1685.

Subbotin was a representative of the Usolsk school of znamenny chant, a style that developed in the Stroganov estates in the Perm region. His compositions include several stichera, such as "Joachim and Anna triumph" and "Today the Virgin gives birth." Modern musicologists regard Subbotin's work highly, noting his innovative approach to melody and structure within the traditional framework of Russian liturgical music.
