Mendeleyevo (Russian: Менделе́ево) is an urban-type settlement in Moscow Oblast, Russia. It stands on the Klyazma River, about ten kilometers from its source and near Zelenograd. Population: 9,500 (2005 est.); 8,030 (2002 Census); 9,172 (1989 Census).
Mendeleyevo was created in 1957 as a closed town attached to the VNIIFTRI (ВНИИФТРИ - All-Union (now All-Russian) Scientific Research Institute for Physical-Engineering and Radiotechnical Metrology) and named after the famous Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleyev.
On the opposite from Mendeleyevo side of the Klyazma lies an ancient Russian village of Lyalovo.
