Artem Ivanov (born December 16, 1987, in Dnipropetrovsk) is a Ukrainian (until 2014) and Russian (since 2014) weightlifter. His best total is 420 kg (190 snatch + 230 clean and jerk - Ukrainian Championships 2012).{{cite news|title=WEIGHTLIFTING NEWS - 2012/34, Ukraine Senior & Junior U20, Belarus Junior U20 Championships|url=http://www.eleikosport.se/weightlifting/News.asp?NewsPageNumber=618&PageNumber=8|publisher=www.eleikosport.se|date=5 May 2012|accessdate=6 May 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120729014731/http://www.eleikosport.se/weightlifting/News.asp?NewsPageNumber=618&PageNumber=8|archive-date=29 July 2012|url-status=dead}} If this had not been completed at a domestic event, it would have represented a substantial increase on the world record at this weight division. At the 2012 Olympic Games, Ivanov did not appear for his weigh-in, prompting speculation of injury, and leaving rival Ilya Ilyin to comfortably retain his title.
