Vitaly Kryuchin is a Russian sport shooter and president of the International Practical Shooting Confederation and Russian Federation of Practical Shooting. He has one gold and bronze medal from the IPSC European Shotgun Championship (2003 and 2006) and one gold medal from the IPSC European Handgun Championship (2007).

Beside competition shooting, Kryuchin is known for his point shooting skills.
