Viktor Pankrashkin (Russian: Виктор Александрович Панкрашкин; 10 December 1957 - 24 July 1993) was a Soviet basketball player.

After a short time with different army teams he came to CSKA Moscow, where he spent 10 years.

In addition to his height, he had an enormous arm length so that he could stand on his heel and touch the basketball ring.

He celebrated his greatest triumph in 1988 when he won the gold medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul as a member of the Soviet national team.

The further progression of the disease made it impossible to play basketball from 1992 onwards.
