Yukhym Hryhorovych Medvediev (Ukrainian: Юхим Григорович Медведєв, Russian: Ефим Григорьевич Медведев, romanized: Yefim Grigoryevich Medvedev; 1 April 1886 – 7 June 1938) was a Ukrainian Soviet politician and the first elected chairman of the Soviet parliament in Ukraine. Medvediev was a member of various Communist parties, but in early 1930s quit his political life and committed himself to a civilian life. In January 1938 he was arrested by the State Security police and later that year shot on the grounds of being an anti-Soviet terrorist. In 1957 Medvedev was rehabilitated posthumously.
