Sergei Yevgenyevich Artyukhin ({{langx|ru|Сергей Евгеньевич Артюхин}}; 1 November 1976 – 12 September 2012), also known as Siarhei Artsiukhin, was a Russian-Belarusian heavyweight Greco-Roman wrestler. He was born in Moscow and won the 2001 World Cup while representing Russia. After that, to avoid severe competition within Russia, he competed for Belarus and won the European title in 2005 and bronze medals at the world championships in 2005 and 2006. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, he was eliminated in his second bout. He was initially trained by his father, Evgeny Artyukhin, Sr., who was also an international heavyweight Greco-Roman wrestler.[https://www.iat.uni-leipzig.de/datenbanken/dbfoeldeak/daten.php?spid=C13AB41D490E49959C621D213B9EC7AF Artyoukhin, Sergey (BLR)]. iat.uni-leipzig.de[https://web.archive.org/web/20200418110157/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ar/sergey-artyukhin-1.html Sergey Artyukhin]. sports-reference.com
