Vladimir Alexeyevich Vasin (Russian: Владимир Алексеевич Васин; born 9 January 1947) is a former Soviet diver and Olympic champion. He competed at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, where he received a gold medal in springboard.[1][2]

In 1989–1991 Vasin was the chairman of the All-Russian Olympic Committee. In 1991, after the USSR collapsed, the Soviet Olympic Committee ceased to exist, and the All-Russian Olympic Committee became an independent organization and was renamed the Russian Olympic Committee. In February 1992, Vladimir Vasin resigned from his post, and Vitali Smirnov, the last chairman of the Soviet Olympic Committee, succeeded him.[3]
