Yurii Mykhailovych Khmelnytskyi (Ukrainian: Юрій Михайлович Хмельницький) was a Ukrainian colonel of Sosnytsia Regiment during Cossack Hetmanate in 1648-1649.[1]

Yurii Khmelnytsky, brother of hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky[2] was also a colonel of Sosnytsia Regiment in 1648[3] and until it was dissolved in 1649. Tsardom of Russia, Bryansk Voivode Nikofor Meshchersky in a letter to Alexis of Russia received on 11 November [O.S. 1 November] 1648, mentions a letter from Bohdan to his brother Yurii. While Bohdan was continuing his campaign toward Warsaw, Yurii was ordered to remain in Sosnytsia and neighboring cities of Novhorod-Siverskyi, Starodub and Pochep. His regiment was to guard grain and to scout for enemy forces.[4] In the cossack register of 1649, he is listed in Chernihiv Regiment, not holding any rank. His name was also given as Yusko, Iosko.[5]
