Oleg Olegovich Khorzhan (Russian: Олег Олегович Хоржан; Romanian: Oleg Olegovici Horjan; 30 June 1976 – 16 July 2023) was a Transnistrian politician who served as the longtime chairman of the Transnistrian Communist Party and as a member of Transnistria's Supreme Council. He was a vocal critic of the Transnistrian government and led protests advocating economic and social reforms.
Khorzhan was imprisoned in 2018 following an altercation with police, a case widely seen by his supporters as politically motivated. He was released in late 2022 after completing his sentence, but was found murdered in his office only six months later.
