Elizaphan Ntakirutimana (1924 – 22 January 2007) was a Rwandan pastor of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
He was the first clergyman to be convicted for a specific leadership role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
The Tribunal found it proven beyond reasonable doubt that Ntakirutimana, himself belonging to the Hutu ethnicity, had transported armed attackers to the Mugonero complex, where they killed hundreds of Tutsi refugees.
He was released on December 6, 2006, after serving 10 years under arrest or in prison, and died the following month.
