Andriy Pavlovych "Andrei" Mikhnov (Ukrainian: Андрій Павлович Міхнов; born 26 November 1983) is a Ukrainian professional ice hockey player currently playing for Fassa of the Italian Hockey League (IHL).
He was drafted in the second round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft by the St. Louis Blues. He plays center and left wing and shoots left. He is also a member of the Ukrainian national team and has played in several international tournaments, including the 2006 World Championships. His brother, Alexei, is also a professional ice hockey player, but opted to represent Russia.
In 2013, when a heart condition was detected in Mikhnov, he was barred from playing in Russia. Mikhnov claims that this was a misdiagnosis, and continued his professional career outside of Russia, where he was unable to gain medical clearance despite documents from Germany.
