Ivan Vyhovsky (Ruthenian: Іоан Виговский / Іоан Виговскій / Іоан(ъ) Выговскій / Иоан Виговс(ъ)кий; Ukrainian: Іван Виговський; Polish: Iwan Wyhowski / Jan Wyhowski; date of birth unknown, died 1664), served as hetman of the Zaporozhian Host (1657-1659), leading the Cossack Hetmanate during the Russo-Polish War (1654–1667).
Vyhovsky belonged to an Orthodox noble family of Abdank coat of arms. He succeeded the famous hetman and rebel leader Bohdan Khmelnytsky. His time as hetman was characterized by generally pro-Polish policies, which led to his defeat by pro-Russian elements among the Cossacks.
