Vladislav Gorodetsky or full name Leshek Vladislav Dezidery Gorodetsky ( _uk. Лєшек Дезидерій Владислав Городецький, "Vladyslav Horodets’kyi"; _pl. Leszek Władysław Horodecki) (OldStyleDate|June 4|1863|May 23 in Sholudky, PodilliaJanuary 3, 1930 in Tehran, Iran) was an architect and big-game hunter, best known for his Art Nouveau-style buildings, namely the House with Chimaeras, the St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Cathedral, the National Art Museum of Ukraine, and many others in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.

Gorodetsky was born in a noble Polish szlachta family in the Podillia region (now Nemyrivskyi Raion, Vinnytsia Oblast, Ukraine). He graduated from the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg in 1890, and moved to Kiev, where he lived for almost 30 years. In 1920 he emigrated to Warsaw, and in 1928 he moved to Tehran where he died in 1930.
