Bakhtiyar Shakhabutdinovich Akhmedov (Russian: Бахтияр Шахабутдинович Ахмедов, Kumyk: Ахмедланы Багьтияр Шагьабутдинны уланы; born 5 August 1987 in Buynaksk, Dagestan) is a wrestler of Kumyk ethnicity, representing the Russian Federation.

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 opening door for Akhmedov to be awarded gold instead.[2]
