Andrey Andreevich Polukeyev ({{langx|ru|Андрей Андреевич Полукеев}}; born 13 May 1981) is a Russian former sprinter specializing in the 400 metres and the 9th World Athletics Indoor Championships bronze medallist in the 4 × 400 m relay. Polukeyev also won relay medals at the European Athletics Indoor Championships, European Athletics U23 Championships, and World University Games.

Career

Polukeyev reached his first Russian Athletics Championships final in 2002, placing 8th in the 400 m. He won the Russian U23 Athletics Championships in the same event the following year.

At the 2003 European Athletics U23 Championships, Polukeyev competed in the 400 m and 4 × 400 m. He placed 5th in his 400 m heat but he did anchor the Russian 4 × 400 m team to the bronze medal. Later that summer, Polukeyev ran 3rd leg in the heats of the 4 × 400 m relay at the World University Games, qualifying for the finals with a heat win. He was replaced by Sergey Babayev in the finals where the Russian team won the silver medal behind Ukraine.

In 2005, Polukeyev led off the Russian 4 × 400 m team at the European Indoor Championships, winning the bronze medal. After a 4th-place finish at the Russian Championships, Polukeyev competed in his only World Athletics Championships, qualifying for the 2005 4 × 400 m. Running 3rd leg, he helped the Russian team to 3rd in their heat, but he was replaced by Oleg Mishukov in the finals and the team finished 7th.

Polukeyev's 6th-place finish at the 2006 Russian Indoor Athletics Championships was good enough to qualify him for the Russian relay team at the 2006 IAAF World Indoor Championships held in Moscow. In the semi-finals, Polukeyev's 2nd leg split contributed to Russia winning their heat in a season's best time. In the finals, he was replaced by Dmitry Petrov who anchored Russia to a bronze medal behind the U.S. and Poland.
