Leonid Arnoldovich Fedun (Russian: Леонид Арнольдович Федун; born 5 April 1956) is a Ukrainian-born Russian billionaire businessman known for co-founding Russian oil company Lukoil. Until retiring in 2022, Fedun was vice president of Lukoil.[1] He formerly served as president of FC Spartak Moscow before selling 100% of his shares to Lukoil.[2]

Prior to entering the private sector, he was a military officer. He is considered to be a close associate of Vagit Alekperov, who he co-founded Lukoil with.[1][3]

In February 18, 2022, Fedun was estimated to have had an estimated fortune of $8.5 billion, a figure that declined to $1.7 billion by March 28, 2022.[4] Critics have labelled Fedun as an oligarch.
