Julian Gregory Klymkiw (July 16, 1933 – August 10, 2022) was a Canadian ice hockey goaltender.

He played one game in the National Hockey Leaguefor the New York Rangers during the 1958–59 season as an emergency replacement.

Early in the third period, Rangers goaltender Gump Worsley was tripped up and crashed into his own net by Gordie Howe, pulling a tendon in his left leg.

Worsley was removed from the ice on a stretcher, and the Wings offered the Rangers the use of Klymkiw for the remainder of the game.

He entered the game with the Red Wings leading 1–0 and gave up two goals, one to Marcel Pronovost and one to Gordie Howe, for a 3–0 loss.
