Arkady Romanovich Rotenberg (Russian: Аркадий Романович Ротенберг; born 15 December 1951) is a Russian billionaire businessman and oligarch. With his brother Boris Rotenberg, he was co-owner of the Stroygazmontazh (S.G.M. group), the largest construction company for gas pipelines and electrical power supply lines in Russia.

In 2023 Forbes estimated Rotenberg's wealth at $3.5 billion.[2] He is a close confidant, business partner, and childhood friend of president Vladimir Putin.[3][4][5] Rotenberg became a billionaire through lucrative state-sponsored construction projects and oil pipelines.[6] The Pandora Papers leak implicated Rotenberg in facilitating and maintaining elaborate networks of offshore wealth for Russian political and economic elites.[6]

Since 2014, following the Russian annexation of Crimea, Arkady Rotenberg has been subject to sanctions by the United States government.[7][8][9]
