Evgeny Markovich Shvidler (Russian: Евгений Маркович Швидлер; born 23 March 1964), known in English as Eugene Shvidler, is a Soviet-born billionaire businessman, and winemaker.
Shvidler was sanctioned by the UK Government in March 2022 in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and he remains under United Kingdom sanctions. Shvidler holds dual British and American citizenship. In August 2023, the UK High Court rejected Shvidler's application for his being sanctioned to be reviewed. In February 2024, Shvidler's appeal to the UK Court of Appeal was rejected.
As of April 2014, Shvidler's wealth is estimated at $1.6 billion, although it is unclear how much of this is sanctioned.
