Ivan Ivanovich Krupko (Russian: Иван Иванович Крупко; born 23 July 1974) is a Belarusian politician serving as governor of the Gomel Region since 2021. From March 2018 to his appointment as Minister of Agriculture, he was Chairman of the Minsk District Executive Committee. Then, from 2020 to 2021, he served as Minister of Agriculture. Upon appointment Krupko minister, Alexander Lukashenko explained his reasoning as needing a more experienced manager, which he expected from Krupko as he lead the Minsk district formerly.
Due to his support of Russia during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, since 2022 Krupko has been under multiple international sanctions by the European Union and other countries for "threatening the territorial integrity" of Ukraine.
