Sultan Ibraimov (Султан Ибраимович Ибраимов) (September 20, 1927 – December 4, 1980) was a prominent administrator and politician in the Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic. A long-time and popular governor of Osh oblast, then comprising the entire southern part of present-day Kyrgyzstan, he rose to the position of Chairman of the Council of Ministers (i.e., Prime Minister) of the Kyrgyz SSR in 1978. He was assassinated in 1980 under circumstances that have never been fully explained. It was suspected that the KGB arranged his assassination in order to prevent an ethnic Kyrgyz from rising to the position of Secretary General of the Communist Party of the Kyrgyz SSR.
