Dmitry Ivanovich (Russian: Дмитрий Иванович; 10 October 1483 – 14 February 1509),[1] also known as Dmitry the Grandson (Russian: Дмитрий Иванович Внук), was Grand Prince of Moscow from 1498 to 1502. He was the only surviving son of Ivan Ivanovich, the eldest son of Ivan III of Russia.

Following the death of his father in 1490, Dmitry became heir presumptive and was later crowned in 1498 as grand prince by his grandfather. Eventually, he lost the title to his uncle Vasili and was imprisoned along with his mother Elena.
