Georgy Andreyevich Miterev (Russian: Георгий Андреевич Митерёв; 23 April 1900 – 10 January 1977) was a Soviet scientist and politician who was the long-term minister of health in the period 1939–1947.

[5] One of the major crises during the Miterev's tenure as the minister of health was the cholera outbreak which began in Leningrad in the summer of 1942.

[6][7] He assigned the microbiologist Zinaida Yermolyeva to organize the work of local doctors to reduce the cholera outbreak which produced desired outcomes.

[2][8] The reason for his dismissal was his role in the meeting of the US Ambassador Walter Bedell Smith with two scientists, Nina Klyuyeva and her husband Grigory Roskin, in Moscow in June 1946 about their promising treatment to eliminate the tumor growth in cancer patients.

[3] He was also the recipient of the Red Cross awards from various countries, including Poland, Denmark, Greece, Belgium and the United Kingdom.
