Bakhtiyar Shakhabutdinovich Akhmedov (Russian: Бахтияр Шахабутдинович Ахмедов, Kumyk: Ахмедланы Багьтияр Шагьабутдинны уланы, romanized: Axmedlanı Bahtiyar Şahabutdinnı ulanı; born 5 August 1987 in Buynaksk, Dagestan) is a Russian wrestler of Kumyk descent. Olympic gold medalist 2008.

Akhmedov competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in 120 kg category. In the finals, he lost to Artur Taymazov of Uzbekistan and was awarded silver medal.[1] However, Taymazov was later stripped of his medal due to a positive doping test, thus Akhmedov was awarded gold.[2]
