Arkady Dmitrievich Shvetsov ({{langx|ru|Аркадий Дмитриевич Швецов}}) (January 1892, Nizhniye Sergi, today's Sverdlovsk Oblast - 19 March 1953, Moscow) was a Soviet aircraft engine designer whose OKB was founded in Perm, USSR, in 1934, to produce the Wright Cyclone-derived Shvetsov M-25 engine. Under Shvetsov, his OKB became the primary provider of radial piston engines for Soviet aircraft industry (Mikulin's and Klimov's OKB were assigned to creation of in-line engines). After his death in 1953, the OKB was taken over by Pavel Soloviev.{{Cite web|url=http://www.warheroes.ru/hero/hero.asp?Hero_id=9116|title=Швецов Аркадий Дмитриевич|website=www.warheroes.ru|access-date=2019-05-13}}
