Vladimir Vladimirovich Petrov (Russian: Влади́мир Влади́мирович Петро́в; 30 June 1947 – 28 February 2017) was a Russian ice hockey player, Olympic gold (1972, 1976) and silver medalist (1980).

Born in Krasnogorsk, Petrov played in the Soviet Ice Hockey League for Krylya Sovetov, Moscow (from 1965 to 1967), CSKA Moscow (from 1967 to 1981) and SKA, Leningrad (from 1981 to 1983). At CSKA Moscow and the Soviet national team, he, together with Boris Mikhailov and Valeri Kharlamov, formed one of the best offensive lines ever.

Petrov played for the Soviet team in three Winter Olympics, 1972 Soviet Union–Canada Summit Series and many IIHF World Championships. He is the fourth all-time leading top scorer at the World Championships, with 154 points (74 goals and 80 assists) in 102 games. He also scored 7 points (3 goals and 4 assists) in 8 games at the Summit Series. Petrov retired from ice hockey in 1983.

In the mid-1990s, Petrov was the president of Russian Ice Hockey Federation. In 2006, he was enshrined into the IIHF Hall of Fame.[1]

Petrov died in 2017 and was buried in the Federal Military Memorial Cemetery in Moscow Oblast.
