Vladimir Nikolaevich Artemov (Russian: Владимир Николаевич Артемов, born 7 December 1964) is a former Russian artistic gymnast, Olympic champion and world champion who competed for the Soviet Union.

[1] Artemov won a gold medal in parallel bars at the 1983 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Budapest, and again at the 1987 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam.

Artemov immigrated to the United States from the failing Soviet Union in 1990, settling in Pennsylvania.

However, he has mistakenly been identified as the father of current US gymnast Alexander (Sasha) Artemev.

Artemov currently lives in San Antonio, Texas, where he runs a gym with his wife Natalia.
