Raisa Vasylivna Bohatyriova (Ukrainian: Раїса Василівна Богатирьова; Russian: Раиса Васильевна Богатырёва; born January 6, 1953) is a Ukrainian politician and former Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Health[1] and former Secretary of National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. In the past, Bohatyriova served as a People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) for the Communist, Christian Democratic Party of Ukraine and, more recently, the Party of Regions.

In October 2014, Bohatyriova was put on its wanted list by Ukrainian authorities as a suspect of large-scale embezzlement of state budget funds.[2] According to the Ukrainian government, she has since repaid government funds that had allegedly been misappropriated.[3] At the time her whereabouts were unknown.[4] On August 27, 2019, Bohatyriova returned to Ukraine.[5]

According to the Ukrainian magazine Focus, Bohatyriova has placed among the top 10 most influential women in Ukraine from 2005 to 2010 (five years).[6][7][8] She was recognized as the second most influential woman in 2006–2008 after Yulia Tymoshenko.
