Vladimir Socor (born 1945 in Romania, Jewish origin) is a American veteran analyst of East European affairs for the Jamestown Foundation and its Eurasia Daily Monitor. He is a specialist in former republics of the USSR, CIS affairs and ethnic conflicts. He is a resident of Germany.

Between 1983 and 1994, Socor worked as an analyst for the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Research Institute in Munich and between 2002 and 2004 was a senior fellow of the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies, a right wing Jewish think tank which advocates scrapping the Middle East peace process in favor of attacks on states like Syria and Iraq.

Since 2000, he contributes a regular column to the European edition of The Wall Street Journal. At the start of the Iraq war, he advocated a "U.S.-led war to rid Iraq of Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction."

Socor is also critical of Russian president Vladimir Putin's policies regarding the Post-Soviet space and their frozen conflicts — most notably Transnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The Economist describes him as "hawkish pro-Moldovan".

Vladimir Socor polemicized with the former head of the OSCE mission to Moldova, William Hill. Socor criticized OSCE policies regarding Moldova, and was accused by Hill of fallacies and "outrageous fabrications".
