Yuri Kalitvintsev (born 5 May 1968 in Volgograd, Russia) is a former footballer and Ukraine international. Despite being born in Russia, Kalitvintsev chose to play for the Ukraine side after breaking through as a midfielder for Dynamo Kyiv, following stints at Russian clubs such as FC Rotor Volgograd, FC SKA Rostov-on-Don, FC Dynamo Moscow, and FC Lokomotiv Nizhny Novgorod. His playmaking abilities during the late 1990s were particularly useful during his partnership with Serhiy Rebrov and Andriy Shevchenko on both the club and national team level. In 1998, Kalitvintsev earned a paid transfer to play for Trabzonspor in Turkey, returning to play for CSKA Kyiv to finish his playing career in 2000. In 1995, Kalitvintsev was named Ukrainian Footballer of the Year and had earned 22 caps (scored 1 goal) for the national side.
Following his retirement, Kalitvintsev coached FC Zakarpattia Uzhhorod for several years. He is currently the coach of FC Dynamo-2 Kyiv.
