Valeriy Myronovych Horbatov (Ukrainian: Валерій Миронович Горбатов; born 27 June 1955) is a Ukrainian politician and scientist.

In 2000 and 2001 Horbatov was Prime Minister of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.^[1]^[2]

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine Horbatov fled Kyiv and is believed (by non-governmental organisation Chesno) to have fled to the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine.^[1]

In April 2022 the National Police of Ukraine opened an investigation into Horbatov on charges of "financing of the terrorist organisation Donetsk People's Republic.^[2] It was established that after the occupation of part of Ukraine by Russia, Horbatov continued to carry out his business activities there and paid taxes to Russia.^[2] Also was discover that he had stolen from Crimean museums and bought from "black archaeologists" valuable archaeological finds. Those seized during the investigation were exhibited in the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in August 2023.^[2]
