Leonid Borisovich Nevzlin (Russian: Леонид Борисович Невзлин; Hebrew: לאוניד בוריסוביץ' נבזלין; born September 21, 1959 in Moscow) is a Russian-born businessman who currently lives in Israel. Nevzlin was a high ranking official in Yukos, once a Russian oil firm before it was extinguished by the Russian government. That government is requesting his extradition due to hotly disputed criminal allegations against him and other former executives in Yukos.

In 1989-1991 he worked as the President of Menatep Bank. In parallel he took Management and Marketing courses at the Plekhanov Institute. In 1991 to 1996 he occupied various high ranking positions at the Menatep Bank and Group Menatep. In April 1996 he became Vice President of Yukos at the time owned by Menatep.
