Ruslan Heorhiiovych Riaboshapka (Ukrainian: Руслан Георгійович Рябошапка; born 14 October 1976) is a Ukrainian jurist who was the Prosecutor General of Ukraine from August 2019 to March 2020.[1]

Before being appointed as General Prosecutor, Ruslan Riaboshapka was responsible for its legal department and relationships of the President with courts.[2]

Riaboshapka is well known for his resignation from the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption (NAZK) back in 2017[1] when several members of the agency resigned during a crisis.[3][4] While a member of NAZK since 2016, he called for re-launching of the agency and appointing new leadership, due to its poor task performance over checking the electronic asset declarations.[1] Riaboshapka is one of the founders of the Center for National Sustainability and Development.[5]
