Viktor Fyodorovich Mamatov (Russian: Виктор Фёдорович Маматов; 21 July 1937 – 27 October 2023) was a Soviet biathlete. At the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, he won a gold medal with the Soviet relay team.[2] He was Flag Bearer at the 1968 Olympics.

Mamatov received another gold medal at the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo.[2] He became World Champion in individual 20 km in 1967, and three times with the Soviet relay team, in 1969, 1970, and 1971.

After retiring from competitions, Mamatov had a long career as a biathlon coach and as a sports administrator. He was the head coach of the Soviet junior team from 1973 to 1976 and of the Soviet senior team from 1981 to 1985.[1] He led the Soviet and then Russian delegations at the 1984, 1988, 1992, 1998, and 2002 Winter Olympics.[3] He served as President of the Soviet Biathlon Federation (1987–1991), and as Vice-President of the International Biathlon Union (1993–2002), of the Russian Biathlon Union (1995–2010) and of the Russian Olympic Committee (1996–2006). He was awarded the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland" (1999) and Order of the Red Banner of Labour (1972, 1988).[1]

Mamatov died on 27 October 2023, at the age of 86.[3]
