Vladislav 'Vlad' Alhazov (born 14 November 1978) is an Israeli-Russian powerlifter, who holds the all-time world record for the heaviest raw squat (with wraps), at 525 kg (1,157 lb).

He is also the first man to squat 500 kg (1,102 lb) raw, in 2017 NPA Open Israel Championships, and is also the joint-world record holder along with Dan Bell for the heaviest raw squat within a full powerlifting competition, at 505 kg (1,113 lb). He was the first to do it in 2018 during ProRaw Powerlifting exhibition at Arnold Sports Festival in Australia.

Before breaking the raw world records, Alhazov was an equipped lifter and had squatted 567 kg (1,250 lb) in multi-ply equipment, but during an attempt at 590 kg (1,301 lb) at Westside Barbell in 2008, he suffered a severe injury when his left knee caved inwards, requiring complete knee reconstruction.

From 2006 to 2007, he also participated in several strongman competitions and emerged third at the 2006 IFSA Ukrainian Open. In 2017 Eisenhart Black Competition held in Germany, Alhazov deadlifted 442.5 kg (976 lb) in 'strongman raw' standards.

Alhazov is married to Alina Alhazova, and they have two daughters Milana and Sofia.
