Vladimir Yuryevich Antyufeyev (Russian: Владимир Юрьевич Антюфеев; born 19 February 1951), also known under the assumed name Vadim Shevtsov or Vladimir Shevtsov is a politician and former OMON officer who was one of the organizers in attempt to overthrow the Latvian government in 1991.

As "Vadim Shevtsov", he was later the head of the Ministry of State Security of Moldova's pro-Moscow separatist state of Transnistria between 1992 and 2012. He is a Russian and Transnistrian citizen and was for many years wanted by the law enforcement agencies of Latvia and Moldova. He is no longer wanted by Latvia however, due to their statute of limitations on the type of crime he was alleged to have committed.

In July 2014, Antyufeyev became one of leaders of Ukraine's pro-Russia secessionist rebels, by becoming the Chairman of the People's Council of the Donetsk People's Republic
