Viatcheslav Moshe Kantor (Russian: Вячеслав Моше Кантор, born 8 September 1953) is a Russian, British and Israeli businessman described as an oligarch, who serves as President of the European Jewish Congress (EJC), President of the World Holocaust Forum Foundation (WHF) and Chairman of the European Jewish Fund (EJF).
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he has been placed on various sanctions lists as a result of which he had temporarily stopped leading the EJC. In 2025, he was removed from the EU and Swiss sanctions list and was elected President of the European Jewish Congress for a fifth term.
