Iryna Nozdrovska (January 27, 1979, Demydiv, Kyiv Oblast, URSR – c. December 29, 2017, Vyshhorod Raion, Ukraine)[1] was a Ukrainian lawyer. In 2015 her sister was killed by a car driven by Dmitry Rossoshansky, the nephew of a Kyiv judge. Nozdrovska worked on bringing Rossoshansky to justice, and in May 2017 he was jailed for seven years.

Nozdrovska was reported missing on December 29, 2017. Her body was found in a river outside Kyiv on January 1, 2018, and a murder investigation was opened. An autopsy revealed multiple stab wounds in her neck.[2][3][4][5][6]
