Fyodor Matveyevich Okhlopkov (Russian: Фёдор Матве́евич Охло́пков; (March 2, 1908 - May 28, 1968), was a Soviet sniper during World War II, credited with as many as 429 kills. He was born in the village of Krest-Khaldzhay of Tomponsky Ulus("Ulus" is the administrative region in Sakha Republic) of the Sakha Republic, Russian Federation.
Okhlopkov was one of the most effective snipers in the Red Army during the World War II. He was granted the status of Hero of the Soviet Union in 1965 (#10678) as well as an Order of Lenin, after complaints he had been overlooked for the citations due to his ethnicity (he was an ethnic Yakut). In 1974, a commercial cargo ship was named in his honour.
