Artyom (Russian: Артём) is a Russian male given name.[1] It is related to the name Artemy.[1] The name is derived from the Ancient Greek name Artemios (Greek: Αρτέμιος), the name of the saint Artemius[1] (cf. Dmitry (from Demeter), Denis (from Dionis)). A common diminutive form of the name is Tyoma (Тёма).

The name uses the letter "ё", which can be transcribed to English as "e" but still has the "yo" sound. In cases where the letter "ё" is not used, the name may be written as "Артем" (Artem). The Belarusian equivalent is .
