Vladimir Nikolayevich Romanov (Russian: Владимир Николаевич Романов, IPA: [vlɐˈdʲimʲɪr nʲɪkɐˈlajɪvʲɪtɕ rɐˈmanəf]; Lithuanian: Vladimiras Romanovas; born 15 June 1947)[1] is a Russian-Lithuanian businessman.

He was chairman of UBIG Investments, which owned a majority of the shares in failed Lithuanian bank Ūkio Bankas. Cash flow from the bank enabled him to stake significant stakes in various sporting clubs, becoming the majority shareholder in both Scottish Premier League football club Hearts and Lithuanian Basketball League club Žalgiris, and taking control of the Lithuanian club FBK Kaunas.[2][3] The group was the owner of Belarusian Premier League club FC Partizan Minsk before it was sold in March 2012.
