Fyodor Matveyevich Okhlopkov ( _ru. Фё́дор Матве́евич Охло́пков; (born on March 2, 1908 died on May 28, 1968), was a Soviet sniper during World War II, credited with as many as 429 kills. He was born in the village of Krest-Khaldzhay of what is now Tomponsky Ulus of the Sakha Republic, Russian Empire.

Okhlopkov was the most effective sniper in the Red Army during the World War II. He was granted the status of Hero of the Soviet Union in 1965 (#10678) as well as an Order of Lenin, after complaints he had been overlooked for the citations due to his ethnicity (he was an ethnic Yakut). In 1974, a commercial cargo ship was named in his honour. [http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=171717&PHPSESSID=cbd1f200e0bc6dfcbe33501a4086e273 Fyodor Matveyevich Okhlopkov]
