Vladimir Ivanovich Dmitriev (; 20 October 1932, Baku – 24 November 2020, Moscow) was a Russian scientist in the field of mathematical physics, doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, and professor at the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, Moscow State University (CMC MSU). He served as head of the Laboratory of Mathematical Physics and as deputy dean of the faculty.

Biography Dmitriev graduated from secondary school in Baku in 1950 and from the Faculty of Physics at Moscow State University in 1955. In 1959 he completed postgraduate studies and defended his candidate (Ph.D.) dissertation on “Electromagnetic fields applied to problems of aero-electrical exploration,” supervised by Andrey N. Tikhonov. He received the degree of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences in 1967 for the dissertation “Electromagnetic fields in inhomogeneous media” and was awarded the title of professor in 1969.

From 1960 to 1962, he worked as scientific secretary of the Magnetic Laboratory of the A. A. Baikov Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science. In 1962 he joined the Kurchatov Institute as a senior researcher.
